FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the use of T cells engineered to express a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR), optionally in combination with a B cell inhibitor, e.g., one or more inhibitors of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a to treat a disease associated with expression of the Cluster of Differentiation 19 protein (CD19).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many patients with B cell malignancies are incurable with standard therapy. In addition, traditional treatment options often have serious side effects. Attempts have been made in cancer immunotherapy, however, several obstacles render this a very difficult goal to achieve clinical effectiveness. Although hundreds of so-called tumor antigens have been identified, these are generally derived from self and thus are poorly immunogenic. Furthermore, tumors use several mechanisms to render themselves hostile to the initiation and propagation of immune attack.

Recent developments using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified autologous T cell (CART) therapy, which relies on redirecting T cells to a suitable cell-surface molecule on cancer cells such as B cell malignancies, show promising results in harnessing the power of the immune system to treat B cell malignancies and other cancers (see, e.g., Sadelain et al., Cancer Discovery 3:388-398 (2013)). The clinical results of the murine derived CART19 (i.e., “CTL019”) have shown promise in establishing complete remissions in patients suffering with CLL as well as in childhood ALL (see, e.g., Kalos et al., Sci Transl Med 3:95ra73 (2011), Porter et al., NEJM 365:725-733 (2011), Grupp et al., NEJM 368:1509-1518 (2013)). Besides the ability for the chimeric antigen receptor on the genetically modified T cells to recognize and destroy the targeted cells, a successful therapeutic T cell therapy needs to have the ability to proliferate and persist over time, in order to survey for leukemic relapse. The variable quality of T cells, resulting from anergy, suppression, or exhaustion, will have effects on CAR-transformed T cells' performance, over which skilled practitioners have limited control at this time. To be effective, CAR transformed patient T cells need to persist and maintain the ability to proliferate in response to the cognate antigen. It has been shown that ALL patient T cells perform can do this with CART19 comprising a murine scFv (see, e.g., Grupp et al., NEJM 368:1509-1518 (2013)).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The disclosure features, at least in part, a method of treating a disorder associated with expression of the Cluster of Differentiation 19 protein (CD19) (e.g., OMIM Acc. No. 107265, Swiss Prot. Acc No. P15391). In certain embodiments, the disorder is a cancer, e.g., a hematological cancer. In some embodiments, the method comprises administering a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) molecule that binds CD19 in combination with a B-cell inhibitor, for example, one or more (e.g., one, two, three or more) B-cell inhibitors. In some embodiments, the B-cell inhibitor is chosen from an inhibitor of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the combination maintains or has better clinical effectiveness as compared to either therapy alone. In some embodiments, the methods herein involve the use of engineered cells, e.g., T cells, to express a CAR molecule that binds CD19, in combination with a B-cell inhibitor (e.g., an antibody (e.g., a mono- or bispecific antibody) to a second B target, e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1) or a CAR-expressing cell e.g., a CAR-expressing immune effector cell, that binds to the second B cell target, or a combination thereof) to treat the disorder associated with expression of CD19. The disclosure additionally features novel antigen binding domains and CAR molecules directed to CD20 and CD22, and uses, e.g., as monotherapies or in combination therapies.

Timing and Dosage of the Combination Administration

The one or more therapies described herein can be administered to the subject substantially at the same time or in any order. For instance, a CD19 inhibitor, e.g., a CD19 CAR-expressing cell described herein, the one or more B-cell inhibitor, and/or optionally the at least one additional therapeutic agent can be administered simultaneously, in the same or in separate compositions, or sequentially.

For sequential administration, the CAR-expressing cell described herein (e.g., a CD19 CAR-expressing cell, a CD20 CAR-expressing cell, or a CD22 CAR-expressing cell) can be administered first, and the additional agent can be administered second, or the order of administration can be reversed. In some embodiments, the first therapy (e.g., a CAR-expressing cell such as a CD19 CART cell, CD20 CART cell, or CD22 CART cell) is continued when the second therapy is introduced, and in other embodiments the first therapy is withdrawn before, after, or at the same time as the second therapy is introduced. In instances of sequential administration, in some embodiments, the second therapy is initiated after a predetermined amount of time, or after the subject displays one or more indications that relapse has occurred or is likely to occur. The indication can be, e.g., the presence of cancer cells having a disturbance in the target of the first therapy, e.g., CD19, CD20, or CD22. The disturbance may be, e.g., a frameshift mutation and/or a premature stop codon.

In other embodiments, the two or more therapies (e.g., a CD19 CAR-expressing cell and a B-cell inhibitor) are administered simultaneously. Without being bound by theory, in some embodiments, simultaneous administration of the therapies can reduce the likelihood of relapse and/or delay relapse.

When administered in combination, the first therapy (e.g., CAR therapy, e.g., CAR-expressing cell directed against CD19, CD20, or CD22) and the additional agent (e.g., second or third agent, e.g., a B-cell inhibitor), or all, can be administered in an amount or dose that is higher, lower, or the same as the amount or dosage of each agent used individually, e.g., as a monotherapy. In certain embodiments, the administered amount or dosage of the first therapy, second therapy, optionally a third therapy, or all, is lower (e.g., at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, or at least 50%) than the amount or dosage of each agent used individually, e.g., as a monotherapy. In other embodiments, the amount or dosage of the first therapy, second therapy, optionally a third therapy, or all, that results in a desired effect (e.g., treatment of cancer) is lower (e.g., at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, or at least 50% lower) than the amount or dosage of each agent used individually, e.g., as a monotherapy, required to achieve the same therapeutic effect. In certain embodiments, the lower dose results in reduced side effects compared to those seen when the regular (monotherapy) dose is administered.

In an embodiment, the therapy comprises a population of cells. In embodiments, the cells are immune effector cells, e.g., CAR-expressing cells.

Alternatively, or in combination with the methods described herein, methods are disclosed that comprise a diagnostic step or a patient selection step, for instance as described below.

In one aspect, the invention provides a method of evaluating a subject, e.g., a patient, for relapser status (e.g. a relapser or a non-relapser after a CAR-therapy). In one embodiment, the method identifies a subject, e.g., a patient, who has relapsed (“relapser”) or who is are likely to relapse, or who has not relapsed (“non-relapser”) or who is likely not to relapse, after treatment with a CAR therapy (e.g., a CD19 CART therapy, e.g., described herein, e.g., a CTL019 therapy). In an embodiment, relapser status (e.g. relapser or non-relapser after a CART therapy) is determined by assaying for one or more characteristics of CD19.

In one embodiment, the one or more characteristics of CD19 include an alteration in a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., a mutation such as an insertion, a deletion, or a substitution, or a combination thereof), an alteration in a nucleic acid level, an alteration in a protein sequence, or an alteration in a protein level, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, a relapser has one or more mutations in CD19, e.g., one or more mutations (e.g. insertions or deletions) in exon 2 of CD19. In an embodiment, a relapser has one or more mutations in exon 1, exon 2, exon 3, exon 4, exon 5, exon 6, or exon 7 of CD19. In an embodiment, the mutation produces a premature stop codon, e.g., by an insertion or deletion leading to a frameshift, e.g., in exon 2 of CD19. In an embodiment, the mutation is a mutation of Table 31.

In an embodiment, the characteristic of CD19 is compared to a reference characteristic. For example, when the characteristic is a sequence (e.g., protein or nucleic acid sequence from a biological sample), the reference characteristic can be a wild-type sequence (e.g., protein or nucleic acid sequence) of CD19. The characteristic may be the percent of cells in the sample having a mutant sequence. When the characteristic is a level (e.g., protein or nucleic acid level), the reference characteristic can be a wild-type level (e.g., protein or nucleic acid level) of CD19. The characteristic may be the level of protein or nucleic acid in the sample. The characteristic may be the percentage of cells in the sample that have a level of protein or nucleic acid that is above a given threshold.

In an embodiment, methods are provided for identifying a subject having cancer, e.g., a hematological cancer, such as, e.g., CLL or ALL, as being a relapser or non-relapser after a treatment that comprises a CAR therapy, e.g., a CD19 CART therapy. The method comprises: (1) acquiring a sample from the subject (e.g., an apheresis sample obtained from the blood of the subject; and/or e.g., a manufactured product sample, e.g., genetically engineered T cells obtained from the blood of the subject); (2) determining a characteristic of CD19, e.g., a sequence or level as described herein; and (3) (optionally) comparing the determined characteristic of CD19 to a reference characteristic; wherein the difference, e.g., statistically significant difference, between the determined characteristic compared to the reference characteristic is predictive of relapse to the CAR therapy; and (4) identifying the subject as a relapser or non-relapser to the CAR therapy, e.g., based on the determined characteristic of CD19. In one embodiment, the presence or absence of the characteristic of CD19 is the presence or absence of a premature stop codon, e.g., by an insertion or deletion leading to a frameshift. In an embodiment, the presence of the characteristic of CD19 is a mutation of Table 31.

In an embodiment, the provided methods comprise (1) acquiring a sample from the subject (e.g., an apheresis sample obtained from the blood of the subject; and/or, e.g., a manufactured product sample, e.g., genetically engineered T cells obtained from the blood of the subject, e.g., a manufactured CART19 product); (2) determining a characteristic of CD19, e.g., a sequence or level as described herein; and (3) (optionally) comparing the determined characteristic of CD19 to a reference characteristic; wherein the presence of the characteristic of CD19 (e.g., the difference, e.g., a statistically significant difference, between the determined characteristic compared to the reference characteristic) is predictive of relapse to the CAR therapy. In one embodiment, the presence of the characteristic of CD19 is the presence of a premature stop codon, e.g., by an insertion or deletion leading to a frameshift. In an embodiment, the presence of the characteristic of CD19 is a mutation of Table 31.

The method comprises determining a characteristic of CD19 in a sample obtained prior to relapse. In an embodiment, the presence of the characteristic of CD19 (e.g., the difference, e.g., a statistically significant difference, between the determined characteristic compared to the reference characteristic) is indicative of relapse after CAR therapy. In one embodiment, the presence of the characteristic of CD19 is the presence of a premature stop codon, e.g., by an insertion or deletion leading to a frameshift. In an embodiment, the presence of the characteristic of CD19 is a mutation of Table 31.

In an embodiment, methods are provided for evaluating a subject having cancer, e.g., a hematological cancer such as CLL or ALL. The method comprises acquiring a value of relapser status for the subject that comprises a measure of one or characteristics of CD19, e.g., one or more of the characteristics of CD19 as described herein, thereby evaluating the subject.

In an embodiment, methods are provided for evaluating or monitoring the effectiveness of a CAR therapy, e.g., a CD19 CART therapy, in a subject having cancer comprising acquiring a value of relapser status for the subject that comprises a measure of one or more characteristic of CD19, e.g., one or more of the characteristics of CD19 as described herein, thereby evaluating or monitoring the effectiveness of the CAR therapy in the subject

In an embodiment, the characteristic is CD19 sequence, e.g., protein or nucleic acid sequence. In an embodiment, the method comprises assaying for the presence or absence of frameshifted CD19, e.g., CD19 comprising a premature stop codon.

In embodiments of any of the aforesaid methods, the treatment comprises administering a CD19 CAR-expressing cell, optionally in combination with one or more B-cell inhibitors. In an embodiment, the CD19 CAR therapy is administered simultaneously with one or more B-cell inhibitors (e.g., one or more inhibitors of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a as described herein). In an embodiment, the CD19 CAR therapy is administered before the one or more of B-cell inhibitors. In an embodiment, the CD19 CAR therapy is administered after the one or more of B-cell inhibitors.

In an embodiment, wherein there is a difference between the determined characteristic and reference characteristic, the method comprises modifying the CAR product prior to infusion into the subject.

FIG. 8 shows the plasma cell IgA immunophenotyping from a myeloma patient who received CART19, demonstrating the response to CART19 therapy.

FIGS. 9A and 9B show IL-7 receptor (CD127) expression on cancer cell lines and CART cells. Expression of CD127 was measured by flow cytometry analysis in three cancer cell lines: RL (mantle cell lymphoma), JEKO (also known as Jeko-1, mantle cell lymphoma), and Nalm-6 (B-ALL) (FIG. 9A). CD127 expression was measured by flow cytometry analysis on CD3 positive (CART) cells that had been infused and circulating in NSG mice (FIG. 9B).

FIGS. 10A, 10B, and 10C show the anti-tumor response after CART19 treatment and subsequent IL-7 treatment. NSG mice engrafted with a luciferase-expressing mantle lymphoma cell line (RL-luc) at Day 0 were treated with varying dosages of CART19 cells at Day 6, and tumor burden was monitored. Mice were divided into 4 groups and received no CART19 cells, 0.5×10⁶ CART19 cells (CART19 0.5E6), 1×10⁶ CART19 cells (CART19 1E6), or 2×10⁶ CART19 cells (CART19 2E6). Tumor burden after CART treatment was measured by detection of bioluminescence (mean BLI) (FIG. 10A). Mice receiving 0.5×10⁶ CART19 cells (CART19 0.5E6) or 1×10⁶ CART19 cells (CART19 1E6) were randomized to receive recombinant human IL-7 (rhIL-7) or not. Tumor burden, represented here by mean bioluminescence (BLI), was monitored for the three mice (#3827, #3829, and #3815, receiving the indicated initial CART19 dose) from FIG. 10A that were treated with IL-7 starting at Day 85 (FIG. 10B). IL-7 was administered through IP injection 3 times weekly. Tumor burden, represented here by mean bioluminescence (BLI) before Day 85 (PRE) and after Day 115 (POST) was compared between mice that did not receive IL-7 (CTRL) and mice that received IL-7 treatment (IL-7) (FIG. 10C).

FIGS. 11A and 11B show the T cell dynamics after IL-7 treatment. The level of human T cells detected in the blood was monitored for each of the mice receiving IL-7 or control mice (FIG. 11A). The level of CART19 cells (CD3+ cells) detected in the blood was measured before (PRE) and 14 days after (Day 14) initiation of IL-7 treatment (FIG. 11B).

The top row shows the CD19 and CD123 expression in blasts before CART19 treatment while the bottom row shows the disease phenotype at relapse. CD123 expression was maintained at relapse in most of the patients while CD19 expression was lost.

FIG. 26 is a graph showing the median expression of CD19, CD22 and CD123 before and after CART19 treatment in patients relapsing with a CD19-negative disease. CD19 expression was lost at relapse (94.25% vs. 0%, p=0.0009), while CD22 (99.20% vs. 97.30%, p=ns) and CD123 (63.00% vs. 48.75%, p=ns) were still expressed. For each patient, the percentage of cells expressing the marker indicated is shown as a single data point.

FIGS. 27A and 27B are a series of graphs showing CD22 expression in samples from 16 r/r patients and 4 patients relapsing with CD19-negative disease after treatment with CART19 therapy. Samples were screened by multiparametric flow cytometry for the B cell marker, CD22. CD22 was highly (>60%) and homogeneously expressed in the blasts of 11/15 r/r ALL patients (FIG. 27A). CD22 was positive in 4/4 patients relapsing with CD19-negative leukemia, both before CART19 treatment (baseline) and after (CD19-neg relapse) (2 pts shown) (FIG. 27B). Gating strategy: SSC low→singlets→live→CD45dim

FIGS. 28A, 28B, and 28C are a series of graphs showing the effect of CD22 CART on CD19 and CD22 expression. Schema of the two CAR22 constructs that were generated using different chain orientations (H to L and L to H) is shown (FIG. 28A). The anti-CD22 scFv (m971) was codon optimized and cloned in the murine CAR19 vector containing CD8 hinge, 41-BB costimulatory and CD3 zeta signaling domains (FIG. 28A). The expression of CD19, CD22 and isotype control on NALM6 ALL cell line is shown as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) (FIG. 28B) and antibody-binding capacity (ABC) (FIG. 28C). In NALM-6 the expression of CD19 was higher than CD22. However, in most primary ALL samples the CD19 and CD22 expressions were similar (see FIG. 27A).

FIGS. 29A, 29B, and 29C are a series of graphs showing normal donor T cell expansions for generating CART22 and CART19 (together with UTD cells). Population doublings (PD) versus days in culture: at the end of the expansion (day 11) CART22 and control T cells reached around 4.5 PD, with no significant difference in comparison to CART19 or UTD cells (FIG. 29A). T cell volume (fl) versus days in culture: at day 6 there was peak volume (around 450 fl) while in the following days the volume decreased down to 300 fl when the cells are harvested and frozen. No significant different was observed versus CART19 or UTD cells (FIG. 29B). CAR expression on CD4-positive and CD8-positive T-cells at day 11 of expansion is shown in FIG. 29C. Gating for CAR expression is based on UTD. Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+.

FIG. 30 is a series of graphs showing a CD107a degranulation assay with intra-cytoplasmic cytokine production. CART19, CART22 HtoL and LtoH were co-cultured with different targets (alone, PMA/IONOMYCIN, MOLM-14 and NALM-6). CART19 and CART22 HtoL show high levels of CD107a degranulation, IL-2, IFNg and TNFa production when co-cultured with the ALL cell line (NALM-6) but not when co-cultured with negative controls. UTD and CART22 LtoH did not show degranulation nor cytokine productions. Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+.

FIG. 31 is a graph showing a luciferase-based killing assay. CART22 and CART19 HtoL but not UTD cells were able to lyse NALM-6 cells when co-cultured os for 24 hours. A direct correlation between cytotoxic activity and E:T ratios was observed, with better anti-leukemia effect at 2:1 E:T ratio (78% and 75% killing for CART19 and CART22).

FIGS. 32A and 32B are a series of graphs showing a CFSE-based proliferation assay. Co-culture for 5 days of CART22 and CART19 with the ALL cell line NALM-6 led to significant T cell proliferation (94% and 92.9% respectively). Controls are also shown (TCM=media alone, P-I=PMA/Ionomycin, MOLM-14) (FIG. 32A). In histograms showing the dynamics of CFSE dilution in CART19 and CART22, most of T cells underwent multiple proliferative cycles (FIG. 32B). Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+.

FIG. 33 is a series of graphs showing cytokine production. CART22, CART19 and UTD were incubated for 24 hours with different irradiated targets (alone, PMA/Ionomycin, MOLM-14 and NALM-6). When co-cultured with the ALL cell line NALM-6 only CART22 and CART19 HtoL were able to release multiple cytokines (here shown IFNg, IL-2, GM-CSF, TNFa and MIP1b). Results are shown as mean intensity fluorescence (MFI).

FIGS. 34A and 34B are a series of graphs showing T-cell degranulation with primary ALL blasts. CART22, CART19 and UTD cells were co-incubated for 4 hours with blasts derived from an ALL patient (CHP-959-101) at baseline and after CART19 treatment when the patient relapsed with a CD19-neg disease. Both CART19 and CART22 were able to degranulate at baseline (when blasts are CD19+ and CD22+) but at relapse only CART22 was degranulating (when the disease is CD19-neg) (FIG. 34A). Dot-plots showing CD107a degranulation in CD8-pos and CD8-neg CART19 and CART22 effector after incubation with CHP101 sample at relapse demonstrate only CART22 showed degranulation in both CD8 and CD4 T cells (FIG. 34B). Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+.

FIGS. 35A, 35B, 35C, and 35D are a series of graphs showing in vivo CART22 efficacy against NALM-6. A. Schema of the experiment: 1 million NALM-6 luciferase+ cells/mouse were injected i.v. in NSG mice. After 6 days tumor engraftment was assessed by bioluminescence. Mice were then randomized to receive untransduced T cells or different doses of CART22 (from 1.25 to 5 million total cells/mouse, with 75% CAR expression). Mice were then monitored for tumor burden, PB T cell expansion, and survival (FIG. 35A). Tumor burden by bioluminescence (BLI) detected a dose-related anti leukemia response. Mice receiving 5e⁶ CART22 cells showed better tumor control (FIG. 35B). CART22 treated mice showed a statistically significant better overall survival (OS) in comparison to mice treated with UTD cells. For OS there was a significant correlation between higher dose of CART22 and better OS (FIG. 35C). T-cell in vivo expansion was monitored weekly by retro-orbital bleedings. One week after T cell infusion mice receiving the higher dose of CART22 showed better CART expansion (median of 12 T cells/μl) (FIG. 35D).

FIGS. 36A and 36B are a series of graphs showing an in vivo comparison between CART22 and CART19 against NALM-6. Schema of the experiment: 1 million NALM-6 luciferase+ cells/mouse were injected i.v. in NSG mice. After 6 days tumor engraftment was assessed by bioluminescence. Mice were then randomized to receive untransduced T cells, CART19 or CART22 (5 million total cells, with 75% CAR expression). Mice were then monitored for tumor burden, PB T cell expansion, and survival (FIG. 36A). Tumor burden by bioluminescence (BLI) demonstrated anti leukemia response in both CART22 and CART19 treated mice, while UTD mice rapidly progressed (FIG. 36B). CART19 treated mice showed better overall survival (OS) in comparison to CART22, possibly due to the different target expression in NALM-6 (CD19>>CD22) (FIG. 36C).

FIGS. 37A and 37B are a series of graphs showing an in vivo comparison between CART22 and CART19 in a model of primary ALL. The blasts of a primary ALL patient (JH331) were passaged in vivo and transduced with luciferase to follow tumor burden. Schema of the experiment: 1 million JH331 luciferase+ cells/mouse were injected i.v. in NSG mice. After 14 days tumor engraftment was assessed by bioluminescence. Mice were then randomized to receive untransduced T cells, CART19 or CART22 (5 million total cells, with 75% CAR expression). Mice were then monitored for tumor burden, PB T cell expansion, and survival (FIG. 37A). Tumor burden by bioluminescence (BLI) detected anti leukemia response in both CART22 and CART19 treated mice, while UTD mice rapidly progressed (FIG. 37B).

FIGS. 38A, 38B, and 38C are a series of images showing tissue microarrays for CD22 expression on 28 human normal tissues by immunohistochemistry staining. Lymphoid organs resulted positive for CD22 expression (tonsil, lymph node, spleen and thymus) (FIG. 38A). Non-lymphoid organs showed no expression of CD22 (FIG. 38B). CD22-positive resident B-cells were observed in multiple tissues (FIG. 38C). *=non-specific staining.

FIGS. 39A, 39B, 39C and 39D are a graph showing CD22 RNA-expression data from GeneAtlas U133A. CD22 expression was observed at high level in B-cells, tonsil and lymph node. B-lymphoblast and leukemia/lymphoma cell lines were also highly positive.

Transduction resulted in a range of CAR positive cells from 12-42%.

FIG. 43B shows a graphical representation of CD123-CART-mediated cell killing. T cell killing was directed towards CD123-expressing MOLM13 acute myelogenous leukemia cells stably expressing luciferase. Untransduced T cells were used to determine non-specific background killing levels. The cytolytic activities of CART-CD123 were measured over a range of effector:target cell ratios of 4:1 and 2-fold downward dilutions of T cells where effectors were defined as T cells expressing the anti-CD123 chimeric receptor. Assays were initiated by mixing an appropriate number of T cells with a constant number of targets cells.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Definitions

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains.

The term “a” and “an” refers to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element.

The term “about” when referring to a measurable value such as an amount, a temporal duration, and the like, is meant to encompass variations of ±20% or in some instances ±10%, or in some instances ±5%, or in some instances ±1%, or in some instances ±0.1% from the specified value, as such variations are appropriate to perform the disclosed methods.

The term “apheresis” as used herein refers to the art-recognized extracorporeal process by which the blood of a donor or patient is removed from the donor or patient and passed through an apparatus that separates out selected particular constituent(s) and returns the remainder to the circulation of the donor or patient, e.g., by retransfusion. Thus, “an apheresis sample” refers to a sample obtained using apheresis.

The term “bioequivalent” refers to an amount of an agent other than the reference compound (e.g., RAD001), required to produce an effect equivalent to the effect produced by the reference dose or reference amount of the reference compound (e.g., RAD001). In an embodiment the effect is the level of mTOR inhibition, e.g., as measured by P70 S6 kinase inhibition, e.g., as evaluated in an in vivo or in vitro assay, e.g., as measured by an assay described herein, e.g., the Boulay assay, or measurement of phosphorylated S6 levels by western blot. In an embodiment, the effect is alteration of the ratio of PD-1 positive/PD-1 negative T cells, as measured by cell sorting. In an embodiment a bioequivalent amount or dose of an mTOR inhibitor is the amount or dose that achieves the same level of P70 S6 kinase inhibition as does the reference dose or reference amount of a reference compound. In an embodiment, a bioequivalent amount or dose of an mTOR inhibitor is the amount or dose that achieves the same level of alteration in the ratio of PD-1 positive/PD-1 negative T cells as does the reference dose or reference amount of a reference compound.

The term “inhibition” or “inhibitor” includes a reduction in a certain parameter, e.g., an activity, of a given molecule, e.g., CD20, CD10, CD19, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a. For example, inhibition of an activity, e.g., an activity of CD20, CD10, CD19, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a, of at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or more is included by this term. Thus, inhibition need not be 100%. Activities for the inhibitors can be determined as described herein or by assays known in the art. A “B-cell inhibitor” is a molecule, e.g., a small molecule, antibody, CAR or cell comprising a CAR, which causes the reduction in a certain parameter, e.g., an activity, e.g., growth or proliferation, of a B-cell, or which causes a reduction in a certain parameter, e.g., an activity, of a molecule associated with a B cell. Non-limiting examples of molecules associated with a B cell include proteins expressed on the surface of B cells, e.g., CD20, CD10, CD19, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a.

The term “Chimeric Antigen Receptor” or alternatively a “CAR” refers to a set of polypeptides, typically two in the simplest embodiments, which when in an immune effector cell, provides the cell with specificity for a target cell, typically a cancer cell, and with intracellular signal generation. In some embodiments, a CAR comprises at least an extracellular antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic signaling domain (also referred to herein as “an intracellular signaling domain”) comprising a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule and/or costimulatory molecule as defined below. In some embodiments, the set of polypeptides are in the same polypeptide chain, e.g., comprise a chimeric fusion protein. In some embodiments, the set of polypeptides are not contiguous with each other, e.g., are in different polypeptide chains. In some embodiments, the set of polypeptides include a dimerization switch that, upon the presence of a dimerization molecule, can couple the polypeptides to one another, e.g., can couple an antigen binding domain to an intracellular signaling domain. In one aspect, the stimulatory molecule of the CAR is the zeta chain associated with the T cell receptor complex (e.g., CD3 zeta). In one aspect, the cytoplasmic signaling domain comprises a primary signaling domain (e.g., a primary signaling domain of CD3-zeta). In one aspect, the cytoplasmic signaling domain further comprises one or more functional signaling domains derived from at least one costimulatory molecule as defined below. In one aspect, the costimulatory molecule is chosen from the costimulatory molecules described herein, e.g., 4-1BB (i.e., CD137), CD27, and/or CD28. In one aspect, the CAR comprises a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. In one aspect, the CAR comprises a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising a functional signaling domain derived from a costimulatory molecule and a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. In one aspect, the CAR comprises a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising two functional signaling domains derived from one or more costimulatory molecule(s) and a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. In one aspect, the CAR comprises a chimeric fusion protein comprising an extracellular antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular signaling domain comprising at least two functional signaling domains derived from one or more costimulatory molecule(s) and a functional signaling domain derived from a stimulatory molecule. In one aspect the CAR comprises an optional leader sequence at the amino-terminus (N-ter) of the CAR fusion protein. In one aspect, the CAR further comprises a leader sequence at the N-terminus of the extracellular antigen binding domain, wherein the leader sequence is optionally cleaved from the antigen binding domain (e.g., a scFv) during cellular processing and localization of the CAR to the cellular membrane.

The phrase “disease associated with expression of CD20” as used herein includes but is not limited to, a disease associated with expression of CD20 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD20) or condition associated with cells which express, or at any time expressed, CD20 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD20) including, e.g., a proliferative disease such as a cancer or malignancy or a precancerous condition such as a myelodysplasia, a myelodysplastic syndrome or a preleukemia; or a noncancer related indication associated with cells which express CD20 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD20). For the avoidance of doubt, a disease associated with expression of CD20 may include a condition associated with cells which do not presently express CD20, e.g., because CD20 expression has been downregulated, e.g., due to treatment with a molecule targeting CD20, e.g., a CD20 CAR, but which at one time expressed CD20. In one aspect, a cancer associated with expression of CD20 is a hematological cancer. In one aspect, a hematological cancer includes but is not limited to AML, myelodysplastic syndrome, ALL, hairy cell leukemia, Prolymphocytic leukemia, Chronic myeloid leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, and the like. Further disease associated with expression of CD20 expression include, but are not limited to, e.g., atypical and/or non-classical cancers, malignancies, precancerous conditions or proliferative diseases associated with expression of CD20. Non-cancer related indications associated with expression of CD20 may also be included. In some embodiments, the CD20-expressing cells express, or at any time expressed, CD20 mRNA. In an embodiment, the CD20-expressing cells produce a CD20 protein (e.g., wild-type or mutant), and the CD20 protein may be present at normal levels or reduced levels. In an embodiment, the CD20-expressing cells produced detectable levels of a CD20 protein at one point, and subsequently produced substantially no detectable CD20 protein.

The phrase “disease associated with expression of CD22” as used herein includes but is not limited to, a disease associated with expression of CD22 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD22) or condition associated with cells which express, or at any time expressed, CD22 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD22) including, e.g., a proliferative disease such as a cancer or malignancy or a precancerous condition such as a myelodysplasia, a myelodysplastic syndrome or a preleukemia; or a noncancer related indication associated with cells which express CD22 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD22). For the avoidance of doubt, a disease associated with expression of CD22 may include a condition associated with cells which do not presently express CD22, e.g., because CD22 expression has been downregulated, e.g., due to treatment with a molecule targeting CD22, e.g., a CD22 CAR, but which at one time expressed CD22. In one aspect, a cancer associated with expression of CD22 is a hematological cancer. In one aspect, a hematological cancer includes but is not limited to AML, myelodysplastic syndrome, ALL, hairy cell leukemia, Prolymphocytic leukemia, Chronic myeloid leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, and the like. Further disease associated with expression of CD22 expression include, but are not limited to, e.g., atypical and/or non-classical cancers, malignancies, precancerous conditions or proliferative diseases associated with expression of CD22. Non-cancer related indications associated with expression of CD22 may also be included. In some embodiments, the CD22-expressing cells express, or at any time expressed, CD22 mRNA. In an embodiment, the CD22-expressing cells produce a CD22 protein (e.g., wild-type or mutant), and the CD22 protein may be present at normal levels or reduced levels. In an embodiment, the CD22-expressing cells produced detectable levels of a CD22 protein at one point, and subsequently produced substantially no detectable CD22 protein.

As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms “prevent,” “preventing” and “prevention” refer to an action that occurs before the subject begins to suffer from the condition, or relapse of the condition. Prevention need not result in a complete prevention of the condition; partial prevention or reduction of the condition or a symptom of the condition, or reduction of the risk of developing the condition, is encompassed by this term.

Administered “in combination”, as used herein, means that two (or more) different treatments are delivered to the subject during the course of the subject's affliction with the disorder, e.g., the two or more treatments are delivered after the subject has been diagnosed with the disorder and before the disorder has been cured or eliminated or treatment has ceased for other reasons. In some embodiments, the delivery of one treatment is still occurring when the delivery of the second begins, so that there is overlap in terms of administration. This is sometimes referred to herein as “simultaneous” or “concurrent delivery”. In other embodiments, the delivery of one treatment ends before the delivery of the other treatment begins. In some embodiments of either case, the treatment is more effective because of combined administration. For example, the second treatment is more effective, e.g., an equivalent effect is seen with less of the second treatment, or the second treatment reduces symptoms to a greater extent, than would be seen if the second treatment were administered in the absence of the first treatment, or the analogous situation is seen with the first treatment. In some embodiments, delivery is such that the reduction in a symptom, or other parameter related to the disorder is greater than what would be observed with one treatment delivered in the absence of the other. The effect of the two treatments can be partially additive, wholly additive, or greater than additive. The delivery can be such that an effect of the first treatment delivered is still detectable when the second is delivered. In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell is administered at a dose and/or dosing schedule described herein, and the B-cell inhibitor, or agent that enhances the activity of the CD19 CAR-expressing cell is administered at a dose and/or dosing schedule described herein.

“Derived from” as that term is used herein, indicates a relationship between a first and a second molecule. It generally refers to structural similarity between the first molecule and a second molecule and does not connote or include a process or source limitation on a first molecule that is derived from a second molecule. For example, in the case of an intracellular signaling domain that is derived from a CD3zeta molecule, the intracellular signaling domain retains sufficient CD3zeta structure such that is has the required function, namely, the ability to generate a signal under the appropriate conditions. It does not connote or include a limitation to a particular process of producing the intracellular signaling domain, e.g., it does not mean that, to provide the intracellular signaling domain, one must start with a CD3zeta sequence and delete unwanted sequence, or impose mutations, to arrive at the intracellular signaling domain.

The term “signaling domain” refers to the functional portion of a protein which acts by transmitting information within the cell to regulate cellular activity via defined signaling pathways by generating second messengers or functioning as effectors by responding to such messengers.

As used herein, the term “CD19” refers to the Cluster of Differentiation 19 protein, which is an antigenic determinant detectable on leukemia precursor cells. The human and murine amino acid and nucleic acid sequences can be found in a public database, such as GenBank, UniProt and Swiss-Prot. For example, the amino acid sequence of human CD19 can be found as UniProt/Swiss-Prot Accession No. P15391 and the nucleotide sequence encoding of the human CD19 can be found at Accession No. NM_001178098. As used herein, “CD19” includes proteins comprising mutations, e.g., point mutations, fragments, insertions, deletions and splice variants of full length wild-type CD19. CD19 is expressed on most B lineage cancers, including, e.g., acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocyte leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Other cells with express CD19 are provided below in the definition of “disease associated with expression of CD19.” It is also an early marker of B cell progenitors. See, e.g., Nicholson et al. Mol. Immun. 34 (16-17): 1157-1165 (1997). In one aspect the antigen-binding portion of the CART recognizes and binds an antigen within the extracellular domain of the CD19 protein. In one aspect, the CD19 protein is expressed on a cancer cell.

The term “antibody,” as used herein, refers to a protein, or polypeptide sequence derived from an immunoglobulin molecule which specifically binds with an antigen. Antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, multiple or single chain, or intact immunoglobulins, and may be derived from natural sources or from recombinant sources. Antibodies can be tetramers of immunoglobulin molecules.

The term “antibody fragment” refers to at least one portion of an antibody, that retains the ability to specifically interact with (e.g., by binding, steric hindrance, stabilizing/destabilizing, spatial distribution) an epitope of an antigen. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)₂, Fv fragments, scFv antibody fragments, disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains, linear antibodies, single domain antibodies such as sdAb (either VL or VH), camelid VHH domains, multi-specific antibodies formed from antibody fragments such as a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region, and an isolated CDR or other epitope binding fragments of an antibody. An antigen binding fragment can also be incorporated into single domain antibodies, maxibodies, minibodies, nanobodies, intrabodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, v-NAR and bis-scFv (see, e.g., Hollinger and Hudson, Nature Biotechnology 23:1126-1136, 2005). Antigen binding fragments can also be grafted into scaffolds based on polypeptides such as a fibronectin type III (Fn3) (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,703,199, which describes fibronectin polypeptide minibodies).

The term “scFv” refers to a fusion protein comprising at least one antibody fragment comprising a variable region of a light chain and at least one antibody fragment comprising a variable region of a heavy chain, wherein the light and heavy chain variable regions are contiguously linked, e.g., via a synthetic linker, e.g., a short flexible polypeptide linker, and capable of being expressed as a single chain polypeptide, and wherein the scFv retains the specificity of the intact antibody from which it is derived. Unless specified, as used herein an scFv may have the VL and VH variable regions in either order, e.g., with respect to the N-terminal and C-terminal ends of the polypeptide, the scFv may comprise VL-linker-VH or may comprise VH-linker-VL.

The term “complementarity determining region” or “CDR,” as used herein, refers to the sequences of amino acids within antibody variable regions which confer antigen specificity and binding affinity. For example, in general, there are three CDRs in each heavy chain variable region (e.g., HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3) and three CDRs in each light chain variable region (LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3). The precise amino acid sequence boundaries of a given CDR can be determined using any of a number of well-known schemes, including those described by Kabat et al. (1991), “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (“Kabat” numbering scheme), Al-Lazikani et al., (1997) JMB 273, 927-948 (“Chothia” numbering scheme), or a combination thereof. Under the Kabat numbering scheme, in some embodiments, the CDR amino acid residues in the heavy chain variable domain (VH) are numbered 31-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the CDR amino acid residues in the light chain variable domain (VL) are numbered 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3). Under the Chothia numbering scheme, in some embodiments, the CDR amino acids in the VH are numbered 26-32 (HCDR1), 52-56 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the CDR amino acid residues in the VL are numbered 26-32 (LCDR1), 50-52 (LCDR2), and 91-96 (LCDR3). In a combined Kabat and Chothia numbering scheme, in some embodiments, the CDRs correspond to the amino acid residues that are part of a Kabat CDR, a Chothia CDR, or both. For instance, in some embodiments, the CDRs correspond to amino acid residues 26-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3) in a VH, e.g., a mammalian VH, e.g., a human VH; and amino acid residues 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3) in a VL, e.g., a mammalian VL, e.g., a human VL.

As used herein, the term “binding domain” or “antibody molecule” refers to a protein, e.g., an immunoglobulin chain or fragment thereof, comprising at least one immunoglobulin variable domain sequence. The term “binding domain” or “antibody molecule” encompasses antibodies and antibody fragments. In an embodiment, an antibody molecule is a multispecific antibody molecule, e.g., it comprises a plurality of immunoglobulin variable domain sequences, wherein a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment, a multispecific antibody molecule is a bispecific antibody molecule. A bispecific antibody has specificity for no more than two antigens. A bispecific antibody molecule is characterized by a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence which has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence that has binding specificity for a second epitope.

The portion of the CAR of the invention comprising an antibody or antibody fragment thereof may exist in a variety of forms where the antigen binding domain is expressed as part of a contiguous polypeptide chain including, for example, a single domain antibody fragment (sdAb), a single chain antibody (scFv), a humanized antibody, or bispecific antibody (Harlow et al., 1999, In: Using Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NY; Harlow et al., 1989, In: Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; Houston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883; Bird et al., 1988, Science 242:423-426). In one aspect, the antigen binding domain of a CAR composition of the invention comprises an antibody fragment. In a further aspect, the CAR comprises an antibody fragment that comprises a scFv.

The term “antibody heavy chain,” refers to the larger of the two types of polypeptide chains present in antibody molecules in their naturally occurring conformations, and which normally determines the class to which the antibody belongs.

The term “antibody light chain,” refers to the smaller of the two types of polypeptide chains present in antibody molecules in their naturally occurring conformations. Kappa (K) and lambda (λ) light chains refer to the two major antibody light chain isotypes.

The term “recombinant antibody” refers to an antibody which is generated using recombinant DNA technology, such as, for example, an antibody expressed by a bacteriophage or yeast expression system. The term should also be construed to mean an antibody which has been generated by the synthesis of a DNA molecule encoding the antibody and which DNA molecule expresses an antibody protein, or an amino acid sequence specifying the antibody, wherein the DNA or amino acid sequence has been obtained using recombinant DNA or amino acid sequence technology which is available and well known in the art.

The term “antigen” or “Ag” refers to a molecule that provokes an immune response. This immune response may involve either antibody production, or the activation of specific immunologically-competent cells, or both. The skilled artisan will understand that any macromolecule, including virtually all proteins or peptides, can serve as an antigen. Furthermore, antigens can be derived from recombinant or genomic DNA. A skilled artisan will understand that any DNA, which comprises a nucleotide sequences or a partial nucleotide sequence encoding a protein that elicits an immune response therefore encodes an “antigen” as that term is used herein. Furthermore, one skilled in the art will understand that an antigen need not be encoded solely by a full length nucleotide sequence of a gene. It is readily apparent that the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the use of partial nucleotide sequences of more than one gene and that these nucleotide sequences are arranged in various combinations to encode polypeptides that elicit the desired immune response. Moreover, a skilled artisan will understand that an antigen need not be encoded by a “gene” at all. It is readily apparent that an antigen can be generated synthesized or can be derived from a biological sample, or might be macromolecule besides a polypeptide. Such a biological sample can include, but is not limited to a tissue sample, a tumor sample, a cell or a fluid with other biological components.

The terms “compete” or “cross-compete” are used interchangeably herein to refer to the ability of an antibody molecule to interfere with binding of an antibody molecule, e.g., an anti-CD20 or CD22 antibody molecule provided herein, to a target, e.g., human CD20 or CD22. The interference with binding can be direct or indirect (e.g., through an allosteric modulation of the antibody molecule or the target). The extent to which an antibody molecule is able to interfere with the binding of another antibody molecule to the target, and therefore whether it can be said to compete, can be determined using a competition binding assay, e.g., as described herein. In some embodiments, a competition binding assay is a quantitative competition assay. In some embodiments, a first antibody molecule is said to compete for binding to the target with a second antibody molecule when the binding of the first antibody molecule to the target is reduced by 10% or more, e.g., 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 55% or more, 60% or more, 65% or more, 70% or more, 75% or more, 80% or more, 85% or more, 90% or more, 95% or more, 98% or more, 99% or more in a competition binding assay (e.g., a competition assay described herein).

As used herein, the term “epitope” refers to the moieties of an antigen (e.g., human CD20 or CD22) that specifically interact with an antibody molecule. Such moieties, referred to herein as epitopic determinants, typically comprise, or are part of, elements such as amino acid side chains or sugar side chains. An epitopic determinate can be defined, e.g., by methods known in the art or disclosed herein, e.g., by crystallography or by hydrogen-deuterium exchange. At least one or some of the moieties on the antibody molecule, that specifically interact with an epitopic determinant, are typically located in a CDR(s). Typically an epitope has a specific three dimensional structural characteristics. Typically an epitope has specific charge characteristics. Some epitopes are linear epitopes while others are conformational epitopes.

The term “anti-cancer effect” refers to a biological effect which can be manifested by various means, including but not limited to, e.g., a decrease in tumor volume, a decrease in the number of cancer cells, a decrease in the number of metastases, an increase in life expectancy, decrease in cancer cell proliferation, decrease in cancer cell survival, or amelioration of various physiological symptoms associated with the cancerous condition. An “anti-cancer effect” can also be manifested by the ability of the peptides, polynucleotides, cells and antibodies described herein in prevention of the occurrence of cancer in the first place. The term “anti-tumor effect” refers to a biological effect which can be manifested by various means, including but not limited to, e.g., a decrease in tumor volume, a decrease in the number of tumor cells, a decrease in tumor cell proliferation, or a decrease in tumor cell survival.

The term “autologous” refers to any material derived from the same individual to whom it is later to be re-introduced into the individual.

The term “allogeneic” refers to any material derived from a different animal of the same species as the individual to whom the material is introduced. Two or more individuals are said to be allogeneic to one another when the genes at one or more loci are not identical. In some aspects, allogeneic material from individuals of the same species may be sufficiently unlike genetically to interact antigenically

The term “xenogeneic” refers to a graft derived from an animal of a different species.

The term “cancer” refers to a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of aberrant cells. Cancer cells can spread locally or through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body. Examples of various cancers are described herein and include but are not limited to, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, brain cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, lung cancer and the like. The terms “tumor” and “cancer” are used interchangeably herein, e.g., both terms encompass solid and liquid, e.g., diffuse or circulating, tumors. As used herein, the term “cancer” or “tumor” includes premalignant, as well as malignant cancers and tumors.

The terms “cancer associated antigen” or “tumor antigen” or “proliferative disorder antigen” or “antigen associated with a proliferative disorder” interchangeably refers to a molecule (typically protein, carbohydrate or lipid) that is preferentially expressed on the surface of a cancer cell, either entirely or as a fragment (e.g., MHC/peptide), in comparison to a normal cell, and which is useful for the preferential targeting of a pharmacological agent to the cancer cell. In some embodiments, a tumor antigen is a marker expressed by both normal cells and cancer cells, e.g., a lineage marker, e.g., CD19 on B cells. In certain aspects, the tumor antigens of the present invention are derived from, cancers including but not limited to primary or metastatic melanoma, thymoma, lymphoma, sarcoma, lung cancer, liver cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemias, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer and adenocarcinomas such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and the like. In some embodiments, the tumor antigen is an antigen that is common to a specific proliferative disorder. In some embodiments, a cancer-associated antigen is a cell surface molecule that is overexpressed in a cancer cell in comparison to a normal cell, for instance, 1-fold over expression, 2-fold overexpression, 3-fold overexpression or more in comparison to a normal cell. In some embodiments, a cancer-associated antigen is a cell surface molecule that is inappropriately synthesized in the cancer cell, for instance, a molecule that contains deletions, additions or mutations in comparison to the molecule expressed on a normal cell. In some embodiments, a cancer-associated antigen will be expressed exclusively on the cell surface of a cancer cell, entirely or as a fragment (e.g., MHC/peptide), and not synthesized or expressed on the surface of a normal cell. In some embodiments, the CARs of the present invention includes CARs comprising an antigen binding domain (e.g., antibody or antibody fragment) that binds to a MHC presented peptide.

Normally, peptides derived from endogenous proteins fill the pockets of Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, and are recognized by T cell receptors (TCRs) on CD8+ T lymphocytes. The MHC class I complexes are constitutively expressed by all nucleated cells. In cancer, virus-specific and/or tumor-specific peptide/MHC complexes represent a unique class of cell surface targets for immunotherapy. TCR-like antibodies targeting peptides derived from viral or tumor antigens in the context of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A1 or HLA-A2 have been described (see, e.g., Sastry et al., J Virol. 2011 85(5):1935-1942; Sergeeva et al., Bood, 2011 117(16):4262-4272; Verma et al., J Immunol 2010 184(4):2156-2165; Willemsen et al., Gene Ther 2001 8(21):1601-1608; Dao et al., Sci Transl Med 2013 5(176):176ra33; Tassev et al., Cancer Gene Ther 2012 19(2):84-100). For example, TCR-like antibody can be identified from screening a library, such as a human scFv phage displayed library.

The phrase “disease associated with expression of CD19” includes, but is not limited to, a disease associated with expression of CD19 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD19) or condition associated with cells which express, or at any time expressed, CD19 (e.g., wild-type or mutant CD19) including, e.g., proliferative diseases such as a cancer or malignancy or a precancerous condition such as a myelodysplasia, a myelodysplastic syndrome or a preleukemia; or a noncancer related indication associated with cells which express CD19. For the avoidance of doubt, a disease associated with expression of CD19 may include a condition associated with cells which do not presently express CD19, e.g., because CD19 expression has been downregulated, e.g., due to treatment with a molecule targeting CD19, e.g., a CD19 CAR, but which at one time expressed CD19. In one aspect, a cancer associated with expression of CD19 is a hematological cancer. In one aspect, the hematological cancer is a leukemia or a lymphoma. In one aspect, a cancer associated with expression of CD19 includes cancers and malignancies including, but not limited to, e.g., one or more acute leukemias including but not limited to, e.g., B-cell acute Lymphoid Leukemia (BALL), T-cell acute Lymphoid Leukemia (TALL), acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL); one or more chronic leukemias including but not limited to, e.g., chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia (CLL). Additional cancers or hematologic conditions associated with expression of CD19 comprise, but are not limited to, e.g., B cell prolymphocytic leukemia, blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, Burkitt's lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, Follicular lymphoma, Hairy cell leukemia, small cell- or a large cell-follicular lymphoma, malignant lymphoproliferative conditions, MALT lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Marginal zone lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplasia and myelodysplastic syndrome, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma, plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, and “preleukemia” which are a diverse collection of hematological conditions united by ineffective production (or dysplasia) of myeloid blood cells, and the like. Further diseases associated with expression of CD19 expression include, but not limited to, e.g., atypical and/or non-classical cancers, malignancies, precancerous conditions or proliferative diseases associated with expression of CD19. Non-cancer related indications associated with expression of CD19 include, but are not limited to, e.g., autoimmune disease, (e.g., lupus), inflammatory disorders (allergy and asthma) and transplantation. In some embodiments, the CD19-expressing cells express, or at any time expressed, CD19 mRNA. In an embodiment, the CD19-expressing cells produce a CD19 protein (e.g., wild-type or mutant), and the CD19 protein may be present at normal levels or reduced levels. In an embodiment, the CD19-expressing cells produced detectable levels of a CD19 protein at one point, and subsequently produced substantially no detectable CD19 protein.

The term “conservative sequence modifications” refers to amino acid modifications that do not significantly affect or alter the binding characteristics of the antibody or antibody fragment containing the amino acid sequence. Such conservative modifications include amino acid substitutions, additions and deletions. Modifications can be introduced into an antibody or antibody fragment of the invention by standard techniques known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative amino acid substitutions are ones in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, one or more amino acid residues within a CAR of the invention can be replaced with other amino acid residues from the same side chain family and the altered CAR can be tested using the functional assays described herein.

The term “stimulation,” refers to a primary response induced by binding of a stimulatory molecule (e.g., a TCR/CD3 complex or CAR) with its cognate ligand (or tumor antigen in the case of a CAR) thereby mediating a signal transduction event, such as, but not limited to, signal transduction via the TCR/CD3 complex or signal transduction via the appropriate NK receptor or signaling domains of the CAR. Stimulation can mediate altered expression of certain molecules.

The term “stimulatory molecule,” refers to a molecule expressed by an immune cell, e.g., T cell, NK cell, or B cell) that provides the cytoplasmic signaling sequence(s) that regulate activation of the immune cell in a stimulatory way for at least some aspect of the immune cell signaling pathway. In one aspect, the signal is a primary signal that is initiated by, for instance, binding of a TCR/CD3 complex with an MHC molecule loaded with peptide, and which leads to mediation of a T cell response, including, but not limited to, proliferation, activation, differentiation, and the like. A primary cytoplasmic signaling sequence (also referred to as a “primary signaling domain”) that acts in a stimulatory manner may contain a signaling motif which is known as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif or ITAM. Examples of an ITAM containing cytoplasmic signaling sequence that is of particular use in the invention includes, but is not limited to, those derived from CD3 zeta, common FcR gamma (FCER1G), Fc gamma RIIa, FcR beta (Fc Epsilon R1b), CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon, CD79a, CD79b, DAP10, and DAP12. In a specific CAR of the invention, the intracellular signaling domain in any one or more CARS of the invention comprises an intracellular signaling sequence, e.g., a primary signaling sequence of CD3-zeta. In a specific CAR of the invention, the primary signaling sequence of CD3-zeta is the sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 17, or the equivalent residues from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rodent, monkey, ape and the like. In a specific CAR of the invention, the primary signaling sequence of CD3-zeta is the sequence as provided in SEQ ID NO:43, or the equivalent residues from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rodent, monkey, ape and the like.

The term “antigen presenting cell” or “APC” refers to an immune system cell such as an accessory cell (e.g., a B-cell, a dendritic cell, and the like) that displays a foreign antigen complexed with major histocompatibility complexes (MHC's) on its surface. T-cells may recognize these complexes using their T-cell receptors (TCRs). APCs process antigens and present them to T-cells.

“Immune effector cell,” as that term is used herein, refers to a cell that is involved in an immune response, e.g., in the promotion of an immune effector response. Examples of immune effector cells include T cells, e.g., alpha/beta T cells and gamma/delta T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NK-T) cells, mast cells, and myeloid-derived phagocytes.

“Immune effector function or immune effector response,” as that term is used herein, refers to function or response, e.g., of an immune effector cell, that enhances or promotes an immune attack of a target cell. E.g., an immune effector function or response refers a property of a T or NK cell that promotes killing or the inhibition of growth or proliferation, of a target cell. In the case of a T cell, primary stimulation and co-stimulation are examples of immune effector function or response.

The term “effector function” refers to a specialized function of a cell. Effector function of a T cell, for example, may be cytolytic activity or helper activity including the secretion of cytokines.

An “intracellular signaling domain,” as the term is used herein, refers to an intracellular portion of a molecule. The intracellular signaling domain can generate a signal that promotes an immune effector function of the CAR containing cell, e.g., a CART cell. Examples of immune effector function, e.g., in a CART cell, include cytolytic activity and helper activity, including the secretion of cytokines. In embodiments, the intracellular signal domain is the portion of the protein which transduces the effector function signal and directs the cell to perform a specialized function. While the entire intracellular signaling domain can be employed, in many cases it is not necessary to use the entire chain. To the extent that a truncated portion of the intracellular signaling domain is used, such truncated portion may be used in place of the intact chain as long as it transduces the effector function signal. The term intracellular signaling domain is thus meant to include any truncated portion of the intracellular signaling domain sufficient to transduce the effector function signal.

In an embodiment, the intracellular signaling domain can comprise a primary intracellular signaling domain. Exemplary primary intracellular signaling domains include those derived from the molecules responsible for primary stimulation, or antigen dependent simulation. In an embodiment, the intracellular signaling domain can comprise a costimulatory intracellular domain. Exemplary costimulatory intracellular signaling domains include those derived from molecules responsible for costimulatory signals, or antigen independent stimulation. For example, in the case of a CART, a primary intracellular signaling domain can comprise a cytoplasmic sequence of a T cell receptor, and a costimulatory intracellular signaling domain can comprise cytoplasmic sequence from co-receptor or costimulatory molecule.

A primary intracellular signaling domain can comprise a signaling motif which is known as an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif or ITAM. Examples of ITAM containing primary cytoplasmic signaling sequences include, but are not limited to, those derived from CD3 zeta, FcR gamma, common FcR gamma (FCER1G), Fc gamma RIIa, FcR beta (Fc Epsilon R1b), CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon, CD22, CD79a, CD79b, CD278 (“ICOS”), FcεRI, CD66d, CD32, DAP10 and DAP12.

In one aspect the cytoplasmic domain of zeta comprises residues 52 through 164 of GenBank Acc. No. BAG36664.1 or the equivalent residues from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rodent, monkey, ape and the like, that are functional orthologs thereof. In one aspect, the “zeta stimulatory domain” or a “CD3-zeta stimulatory domain” is the sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 17. In one aspect, the “zeta stimulatory domain” or a “CD3-zeta stimulatory domain” is the sequence provided as SEQ ID NO:43.

The term “costimulatory molecule” refers to the cognate binding partner on a T cell that specifically binds with a costimulatory ligand, thereby mediating a costimulatory response by the T cell, such as, but not limited to, proliferation. Costimulatory molecules are cell surface molecules other than antigen receptors or their ligands that contribute to an efficient immune response. Costimulatory molecules include, but are not limited to an MHC class I molecule, TNF receptor proteins, Immunoglobulin-like proteins, cytokine receptors, integrins, signalling lymphocytic activation molecules (SLAM proteins), activating NK cell receptors, BTLA, a Toll ligand receptor, OX40, CD2, CD7, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD40, CDS, ICAM-1, LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), 4-1BB (CD137), B7-H3, CDS, ICAM-1, ICOS (CD278), GITR, BAFFR, LIGHT, HVEM (LIGHTR), KIRDS2, SLAMF7, NKp80 (KLRF1), NKp44, NKp30, NKp46, CD19, CD4, CD8alpha, CD8beta, IL2R beta, IL2R gamma, IL7R alpha, ITGA4, VLA1, CD49a, ITGA4, IA4, CD49D, ITGA6, VLA-6, CD49f, ITGAD, CD11d, ITGAE, CD103, ITGAL, CD11a, LFA-1, ITGAM, CD11b, ITGAX, CD11c, ITGB1, CD29, ITGB2, CD18, LFA-1, ITGB7, NKG2D, NKG2C, TNFR2, TRANCE/RANKL, DNAM1 (CD226), SLAMF4 (CD244, 2B4), CD84, CD96 (Tactile), CEACAM1, CRTAM, Ly9 (CD229), CD160 (BY55), PSGL1, CD100 (SEMA4D), CD69, SLAMF6 (NTB-A, Ly108), SLAM (SLAMF1, CD150, IPO-3), BLAME (SLAMF8), SELPLG (CD162), LTBR, LAT, GADS, SLP-76, PAG/Cbp, CD19a, and a ligand that specifically binds with CD83.

A costimulatory intracellular signaling domain refers to the intracellular portion of a costimulatory molecule. The intracellular signaling domain can comprise the entire intracellular portion, or the entire native intracellular signaling domain, of the molecule from which it is derived, or a functional fragment or derivative thereof.

The term “4-1BB” refers to a member of the TNFR superfamily with an amino acid sequence provided as GenBank Acc. No. AAA62478.2, or the equivalent residues from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rodent, monkey, ape and the like; and a “4-1BB costimulatory domain” is defined as amino acid residues 214-255 of GenBank Acc. No. AAA62478.2, or the equivalent residues from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rodent, monkey, ape and the like. In one aspect, the “4-1BB costimulatory domain” is the sequence provided as SEQ ID NO: 16 or the equivalent residues from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rodent, monkey, ape and the like.

The term “encoding” refers to the inherent property of specific sequences of nucleotides in a polynucleotide, such as a gene, a cDNA, or an mRNA, to serve as templates for synthesis of other polymers and macromolecules in biological processes having either a defined sequence of nucleotides (e.g., rRNA, tRNA and mRNA) or a defined sequence of amino acids and the biological properties resulting therefrom. Thus, a gene, cDNA, or RNA, encodes a protein if transcription and translation of mRNA corresponding to that gene produces the protein in a cell or other biological system. Both the coding strand, the nucleotide sequence of which is identical to the mRNA sequence and is usually provided in sequence listings, and the non-coding strand, used as the template for transcription of a gene or cDNA, can be referred to as encoding the protein or other product of that gene or cDNA.

Unless otherwise specified, a “nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence” includes all nucleotide sequences that are degenerate versions of each other and that encode the same amino acid sequence. The phrase nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein or a RNA may also include introns to the extent that the nucleotide sequence encoding the protein may in some version contain an intron(s).

The term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” are used interchangeably herein, and refer to an amount of a compound, formulation, material, or composition, as described herein effective to achieve a particular biological result.

The term “endogenous” refers to any material from or produced inside an organism, cell, tissue or system.

The term “exogenous” refers to any material introduced from or produced outside an organism, cell, tissue or system.

The term “expression” refers to the transcription and/or translation of a particular nucleotide sequence driven by a promoter.

The term “transfer vector” refers to a composition of matter which comprises an isolated nucleic acid and which can be used to deliver the isolated nucleic acid to the interior of a cell. Numerous vectors are known in the art including, but not limited to, linear polynucleotides, polynucleotides associated with ionic or amphiphilic compounds, plasmids, and viruses. Thus, the term “transfer vector” includes an autonomously replicating plasmid or a virus. The term should also be construed to further include non-plasmid and non-viral compounds which facilitate transfer of nucleic acid into cells, such as, for example, a polylysine compound, liposome, and the like. Examples of viral transfer vectors include, but are not limited to, adenoviral vectors, adeno-associated virus vectors, retroviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, and the like.

The term “expression vector” refers to a vector comprising a recombinant polynucleotide comprising expression control sequences operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence to be expressed. An expression vector comprises sufficient cis-acting elements for expression; other elements for expression can be supplied by the host cell or in an in vitro expression system. Expression vectors include all those known in the art, including cosmids, plasmids (e.g., naked or contained in liposomes) and viruses (e.g., lentiviruses, retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses) that incorporate the recombinant polynucleotide.

The term “lentivirus” refers to a genus of the Retroviridae family. Lentiviruses are unique among the retroviruses in being able to infect non-dividing cells; they can deliver a significant amount of genetic information into the DNA of the host cell, so they are one of the most efficient methods of a gene delivery vector. HIV, SIV, and FIV are all examples of lentiviruses.

The term “lentiviral vector” refers to a vector derived from at least a portion of a lentivirus genome, including especially a self-inactivating lentiviral vector as provided in Milone et al., Mol. Ther. 17(8): 1453-1464 (2009). Other examples of lentivirus vectors that may be used in the clinic, include but are not limited to, e.g., the LENTIVECTOR® gene delivery technology from Oxford BioMedica, the LENTIMAX™ vector system from Lentigen and the like. Nonclinical types of lentiviral vectors are also available and would be known to one skilled in the art.

The term “homologous” or “identity” refers to the subunit sequence identity between two polymeric molecules, e.g., between two nucleic acid molecules, such as, two DNA molecules or two RNA molecules, or between two polypeptide molecules. When a subunit position in both of the two molecules is occupied by the same monomeric subunit; e.g., if a position in each of two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, then they are homologous or identical at that position. The homology between two sequences is a direct function of the number of matching or homologous positions; e.g., if half (e.g., five positions in a polymer ten subunits in length) of the positions in two sequences are homologous, the two sequences are 50% homologous; if 90% of the positions (e.g., 9 of 10), are matched or homologous, the two sequences are 90% homologous.

“Humanized” forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies are chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2 or other antigen-binding subsequences of antibodies) which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. For the most part, humanized antibodies and antibody fragments thereof are human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody or antibody fragment) in which residues from a complementary-determining region (CDR) of the recipient are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat or rabbit having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some instances, Fv framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, a humanized antibody/antibody fragment can comprise residues which are found neither in the recipient antibody nor in the imported CDR or framework sequences. These modifications can further refine and optimize antibody or antibody fragment performance. In general, the humanized antibody or antibody fragment thereof will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or a significant portion of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody or antibody fragment can also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature, 321: 522-525, 1986; Reichmann et al., Nature, 332: 323-329, 1988; Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2: 593-596, 1992.

“Fully human” refers to an immunoglobulin, such as an antibody or antibody fragment, where the whole molecule is of human origin or consists of an amino acid sequence identical to a human form of the antibody or immunoglobulin.

The term “isolated” means altered or removed from the natural state. For example, a nucleic acid or a peptide naturally present in a living animal is not “isolated,” but the same nucleic acid or peptide partially or completely separated from the coexisting materials of its natural state is “isolated.” An isolated nucleic acid or protein can exist in substantially purified form, or can exist in a non-native environment such as, for example, a host cell.

In the context of the present invention, the following abbreviations for the commonly occurring nucleic acid bases are used. “A” refers to adenosine, “C” refers to cytosine, “G” refers to guanosine, “T” refers to thymidine, and “U” refers to uridine.

The term “operably linked” or “transcriptional control” refers to functional linkage between a regulatory sequence and a heterologous nucleic acid sequence resulting in expression of the latter. For example, a first nucleic acid sequence is operably linked with a second nucleic acid sequence when the first nucleic acid sequence is placed in a functional relationship with the second nucleic acid sequence. For instance, a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter affects the transcription or expression of the coding sequence. Operably linked DNA sequences can be contiguous with each other and, e.g., where necessary to join two protein coding regions, are in the same reading frame.

The term “parenteral” administration of an immunogenic composition includes, e.g., subcutaneous (s.c.), intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.), or intrasternal injection, intratumoral, or infusion techniques.

The term “nucleic acid” or “polynucleotide” refers to deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) or ribonucleic acids (RNA) and polymers thereof in either single- or double-stranded form. The term “nucleic acid” includes a gene, cDNA, or an mRNA. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule is synthetic (e.g., chemically synthesized) or recombinant. Unless specifically limited, the term encompasses nucleic acids containing analogues or derivatives of natural nucleotides that have similar binding properties as the reference nucleic acid and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides. Unless otherwise indicated, a particular nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions), alleles, orthologs, SNPs, and complementary sequences as well as the sequence explicitly indicated. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions may be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and/or deoxyinosine residues (Batzer et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 19:5081 (1991); Ohtsuka et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:2605-2608 (1985); and Rossolini et al., Mol. Cell. Probes 8:91-98 (1994)).

The terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably, and refer to a compound comprised of amino acid residues covalently linked by peptide bonds. A protein or peptide must contain at least two amino acids, and no limitation is placed on the maximum number of amino acids that can comprise a protein's or peptide's sequence. Polypeptides include any peptide or protein comprising two or more amino acids joined to each other by peptide bonds. As used herein, the term refers to both short chains, which also commonly are referred to in the art as peptides, oligopeptides and oligomers, for example, and to longer chains, which generally are referred to in the art as proteins, of which there are many types. “Polypeptides” include, for example, biologically active fragments, substantially homologous polypeptides, oligopeptides, homodimers, heterodimers, variants of polypeptides, modified polypeptides, derivatives, analogs, fusion proteins, among others. A polypeptide includes a natural peptide, a recombinant peptide, or a combination thereof.

The term “promoter” refers to a DNA sequence recognized by the synthetic machinery of the cell, or introduced synthetic machinery, required to initiate the specific transcription of a polynucleotide sequence.

The term “promoter/regulatory sequence” refers to a nucleic acid sequence which is required for expression of a gene product operably linked to the promoter/regulatory sequence. In some instances, this sequence may be the core promoter sequence and in other instances, this sequence may also include an enhancer sequence and other regulatory elements which are required for expression of the gene product. The promoter/regulatory sequence may, for example, be one which expresses the gene product in a tissue specific manner.

The term “constitutive” promoter refers to a nucleotide sequence which, when operably linked with a polynucleotide which encodes or specifies a gene product, causes the gene product to be produced in a cell under most or all physiological conditions of the cell.

The term “inducible” promoter refers to a nucleotide sequence which, when operably linked with a polynucleotide which encodes or specifies a gene product, causes the gene product to be produced in a cell substantially only when an inducer which corresponds to the promoter is present in the cell.

The term “tissue-specific” promoter refers to a nucleotide sequence which, when operably linked with a polynucleotide encodes or specified by a gene, causes the gene product to be produced in a cell substantially only if the cell is a cell of the tissue type corresponding to the promoter.

The term “flexible polypeptide linker” or “linker” as used in the context of a scFv refers to a peptide linker that consists of amino acids such as glycine and/or serine residues used alone or in combination, to link variable heavy and variable light chain regions together. In one embodiment, the flexible polypeptide linker is a Gly/Ser linker and comprises the amino acid sequence (Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser)n, where n is a positive integer equal to or greater than 1. For example, n=1, n=2, n=3. n=4, n=5, n=6, n=7, n=8, n=9 and n=10 (SEQ ID NO:105). In one embodiment, the flexible polypeptide linkers include, but are not limited to, (Gly₄ Ser)₄ (SEQ ID NO: 106) or (Gly₄ Ser)₃ (SEQ ID NO: 107). In another embodiment, the linkers include multiple repeats of (Gly₂Ser), (GlySer) or (Gly₃Ser) (SEQ ID NO: 108). Also included within the scope of the invention are linkers described in WO2012/138475, incorporated herein by reference.

As used herein, a 5′ cap (also termed an RNA cap, an RNA 7-methylguanosine cap or an RNA m⁷G cap) is a modified guanine nucleotide that has been added to the “front” or 5′ end of a eukaryotic messenger RNA shortly after the start of transcription. The 5′ cap consists of a terminal group which is linked to the first transcribed nucleotide. Its presence is important for recognition by the ribosome and protection from RNases. Cap addition is coupled to transcription, and occurs co-transcriptionally, such that each influences the other. Shortly after the start of transcription, the 5′ end of the mRNA being synthesized is bound by a cap-synthesizing complex associated with RNA polymerase. This enzymatic complex catalyzes the chemical reactions that are required for mRNA capping. Synthesis proceeds as a multi-step biochemical reaction. The capping moiety can be modified to modulate functionality of mRNA such as its stability or efficiency of translation.

As used herein, “in vitro transcribed RNA” refers to RNA, e.g., mRNA, that has been synthesized in vitro. Generally, the in vitro transcribed RNA is generated from an in vitro transcription vector. The in vitro transcription vector comprises a template that is used to generate the in vitro transcribed RNA.

As used herein, a “poly(A)” is a series of adenosines attached by polyadenylation to the mRNA. In some embodiments of a construct for transient expression, the polyA is between 50 and 5000 (SEQ ID NO: 28), e.g., greater than 64, e.g., greater than 100, e.g., than 300 or 400. Poly(A) sequences can be modified chemically or enzymatically to modulate mRNA functionality such as localization, stability or efficiency of translation.

As used herein, “polyadenylation” refers to the covalent linkage of a polyadenylyl moiety, or its modified variant, to a messenger RNA molecule. In eukaryotic organisms, most messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules are polyadenylated at the 3′ end. The 3′ poly(A) tail is a long sequence of adenine nucleotides (often several hundred) added to the pre-mRNA through the action of an enzyme, polyadenylate polymerase. In higher eukaryotes, the poly(A) tail is added onto transcripts that contain a specific sequence, the polyadenylation signal. The poly(A) tail and the protein bound to it aid in protecting mRNA from degradation by exonucleases. Polyadenylation is also important for transcription termination, export of the mRNA from the nucleus, and translation. Polyadenylation occurs in the nucleus immediately after transcription of DNA into RNA, but additionally can also occur later in the cytoplasm. After transcription has been terminated, the mRNA chain is cleaved through the action of an endonuclease complex associated with RNA polymerase. The cleavage site is usually characterized by the presence of the base sequence AAUAAA near the cleavage site. After the mRNA has been cleaved, adenosine residues are added to the free 3′ end at the cleavage site.

As used herein, “transient” refers to expression of a non-integrated transgene for a period of hours, days or weeks, wherein the period of time of expression is less than the period of time for expression of the gene if integrated into the genome or contained within a stable plasmid replicon in the host cell.

The term “signal transduction pathway” refers to the biochemical relationship between a variety of signal transduction molecules that play a role in the transmission of a signal from one portion of a cell to another portion of a cell. The phrase “cell surface receptor” includes molecules and complexes of molecules capable of receiving a signal and transmitting signal across the membrane of a cell.

The term “subject” is intended to include living organisms in which an immune response can be elicited (e.g., mammals, human).

The term, a “substantially purified” cell refers to a cell that is essentially free of other cell types. A substantially purified cell also refers to a cell which has been separated from other cell types with which it is normally associated in its naturally occurring state. In some instances, a population of substantially purified cells refers to a homogenous population of cells. In other instances, this term refers simply to cell that have been separated from the cells with which they are naturally associated in their natural state. In some aspects, the cells are cultured in vitro. In other aspects, the cells are not cultured in vitro.

The term “therapeutic” as used herein means a treatment. A therapeutic effect is obtained by reduction, suppression, remission, or eradication of a disease state.

The term “prophylaxis” as used herein means the prevention of or protective treatment for a disease or disease state.

In the context of the present invention, “tumor antigen” or “hyperproliferative disorder antigen” or “antigen associated with a hyperproliferative disorder” refers to antigens that are common to specific hyperproliferative disorders. In certain aspects, the hyperproliferative disorder antigens of the present invention are derived from, cancers including but not limited to primary or metastatic melanoma, thymoma, lymphoma, sarcoma, lung cancer, liver cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemias, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer and adenocarcinomas such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and the like.

The term “transfected” or “transformed” or “transduced” refers to a process by which exogenous nucleic acid is transferred or introduced into the host cell. A “transfected” or “transformed” or “transduced” cell is one which has been transfected, transformed or transduced with exogenous nucleic acid. The cell includes the primary subject cell and its progeny.

A subject “responds” to treatment if a parameter of a cancer (e.g., a hematological cancer, e.g., cancer cell growth, proliferation and/or survival) in the subject is retarded or reduced by a detectable amount, e.g., about 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or more as determined by any appropriate measure, e.g., by mass, cell count or volume. In one example, a subject responds to treatment if the subject experiences a life expectancy extended by about 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% or more beyond the life expectancy predicted if no treatment is administered. In another example, a subject responds to treatment, if the subject has an increased disease-free survival, overall survival or increased time to progression. Several methods can be used to determine if a patient responds to a treatment including, for example, criteria provided by NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®). For example, in the context of B-ALL, a complete response or complete responder, may involve one or more of: <5% BM blast, >1000 neutrophil/ANC (/μL). >100,000 platelets (/μL) with no circulating blasts or extramedullary disease (no lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, skin/gum infiltration/testicular mass/CNS involvement), Trilineage hematopoiesis, and no recurrence for 4 weeks. A partial responder may involve one or more of >50% reduction in BM blast, >1000 neutrophil/ANC (/μL). >100,000 platelets (/μL). A non-responder can show disease progression, e.g., >25% in BM blasts.

“Refractory” as used herein refers to a disease, e.g., cancer, that does not respond to a treatment. In embodiments, a refractory cancer can be resistant to a treatment before or at the beginning of the treatment. In other embodiments, the refractory cancer can become resistant during a treatment. A refractory cancer is also called a resistant cancer.

The term “relapse” as used herein refers to reappearance of a cancer after an initial period of responsiveness (e.g., complete response or partial response). The initial period of responsiveness may involve the level of cancer cells falling below a certain threshold, e.g., below 20%, 1%, 10%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1%. The reappearance may involve the level of cancer cells rising above a certain threshold, e.g., above 20%, 1%, 10%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1%. For example, e.g., in the context of B-ALL, the reappearance may involve, e.g., a reappearance of blasts in the blood, bone marrow (>5%), or any extramedullary site, after a complete response. A complete response, in this context, may involve <5% BM blast. More generally, in an embodiment, a response (e.g., complete response or partial response) can involve the absence of detectable MRD (minimal residual disease). In an embodiment, the initial period of responsiveness lasts at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days; at least 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks; at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 months; or at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years.

In some embodiments, a therapy that includes a CD19 inhibitor, e.g., a CD19 CAR therapy, may relapse or be refractory to treatment. The relapse or resistance can be caused by CD19 loss (e.g., an antigen loss mutation) or other CD19 alteration that reduces the level of CD19 (e.g., caused by clonal selection of CD19-negative clones). A cancer that harbors such CD19 loss or alteration is referred to herein as a “CD19-negative cancer” or a “CD19-negative relapsed cancer”). It shall be understood that a CD19-negative cancer need not have 100% loss of CD19, but a sufficient reduction to reduce the effectiveness of a CD19 therapy such that the cancer relapses or becomes refractory. In some embodiments, a CD19-negative cancer results from a CD19 CAR therapy.

The term “specifically binds,” refers to an antibody, or a ligand, which recognizes and binds with a binding partner (e.g., a stimulatory tumor antigen) protein present in a sample, but which antibody or ligand does not substantially recognize or bind other molecules in the sample.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of subjects without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describes pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66:1-19.

“Regulatable chimeric antigen receptor (RCAR),” as that term is used herein, refers to a set of polypeptides, typically two in the simplest embodiments, which when in a RCARX cell, provides the RCARX cell with specificity for a target cell, typically a cancer cell, and with regulatable intracellular signal generation or proliferation, which can optimize an immune effector property of the RCARX cell. An RCARX cell relies at least in part, on an antigen binding domain to provide specificity to a target cell that comprises the antigen bound by the antigen binding domain. In an embodiment, an RCAR includes a dimerization switch that, upon the presence of a dimerization molecule, can couple an intracellular signaling domain to the antigen binding domain.

“Membrane anchor” or “membrane tethering domain”, as that term is used herein, refers to a polypeptide or moiety, e.g., a myristoyl group, sufficient to anchor an extracellular or intracellular domain to the plasma membrane.

“Switch domain,” as that term is used herein, e.g., when referring to an RCAR, refers to an entity, typically a polypeptide-based entity, that, in the presence of a dimerization molecule, associates with another switch domain. The association results in a functional coupling of a first entity linked to, e.g., fused to, a first switch domain, and a second entity linked to, e.g., fused to, a second switch domain. A first and second switch domain are collectively referred to as a dimerization switch. In embodiments, the first and second switch domains are the same as one another, e.g., they are polypeptides having the same primary amino acid sequence, and are referred to collectively as a homodimerization switch. In embodiments, the first and second switch domains are different from one another, e.g., they are polypeptides having different primary amino acid sequences, and are referred to collectively as a heterodimerization switch. In embodiments, the switch is intracellular. In embodiments, the switch is extracellular. In embodiments, the switch domain is a polypeptide-based entity, e.g., FKBP or FRB-based, and the dimerization molecule is small molecule, e.g., a rapalogue. In embodiments, the switch domain is a polypeptide-based entity, e.g., an scFv that binds a myc peptide, and the dimerization molecule is a polypeptide, a fragment thereof, or a multimer of a polypeptide, e.g., a myc ligand or multimers of a myc ligand that bind to one or more myc scFvs. In embodiments, the switch domain is a polypeptide-based entity, e.g., myc receptor, and the dimerization molecule is an antibody or fragments thereof, e.g., myc antibody.

“Dimerization molecule,” as that term is used herein, e.g., when referring to an RCAR, refers to a molecule that promotes the association of a first switch domain with a second switch domain. In embodiments, the dimerization molecule does not naturally occur in the subject, or does not occur in concentrations that would result in significant dimerization. In embodiments, the dimerization molecule is a small molecule, e.g., rapamycin or a rapalogue, e.g., RAD001.

The term “low, immune enhancing, dose” when used in conjunction with an mTOR inhibitor, e.g., an allosteric mTOR inhibitor, e.g., RAD001 or rapamycin, or a catalytic mTOR inhibitor, refers to a dose of mTOR inhibitor that partially, but not fully, inhibits mTOR activity, e.g., as measured by the inhibition of P70 S6 kinase activity. Methods for evaluating mTOR activity, e.g., by inhibition of P70 S6 kinase, are discussed herein. The dose is insufficient to result in complete immune suppression but is sufficient to enhance the immune response. In an embodiment, the low, immune enhancing, dose of mTOR inhibitor results in a decrease in the number of PD-1 positive T cells and/or an increase in the number of PD-1 negative T cells, or an increase in the ratio of PD-1 negative T cells/PD-1 positive T cells. In an embodiment, the low, immune enhancing, dose of mTOR inhibitor results in an increase in the number of naive T cells. In an embodiment, the low, immune enhancing, dose of mTOR inhibitor results in one or more of the following:

an increase in the expression of one or more of the following markers: CD62L^(high), CD127^(high), CD27⁺, and BCL2, e.g., on memory T cells, e.g., memory T cell precursors;

a decrease in the expression of KLRG1, e.g., on memory T cells, e.g., memory T cell precursors; and

an increase in the number of memory T cell precursors, e.g., cells with any one or combination of the following characteristics: increased CD62L^(high), increased CD127^(high), increased CD27⁺, decreased KLRG1, and increased BCL2;

wherein any of the changes described above occurs, e.g., at least transiently, e.g., as compared to a non-treated subject.

Ranges: throughout this disclosure, various aspects of the invention can be presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation on the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible subranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed subranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6 etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example, 1, 2, 2.7, 3, 4, 5, 5.3, and 6. As another example, a range such as 95-99% identity, includes something with 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity, and includes subranges such as 96-99%, 96-98%, 96-97%, 97-99%, 97-98% and 98-99% identity. This applies regardless of the breadth of the range.

Description

Provided herein are compositions of matter and methods of use for the treatment of a disease such as cancer using CD19 chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). The methods include, inter alia, administering a CD19 CAR described herein in combination with another agent such as B-cell inhibitor. The methods also include, e.g., administering a CD19 CAR described herein to treat a lymphoma such as Hodgkin lymphoma.

In one aspect, the invention provides a number of chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) comprising an antibody or antibody fragment engineered for specific binding to a CD19 protein. In one aspect, the invention provides a cell (e.g., T cell) engineered to express a CAR, wherein the CAR T cell (“CART”) exhibits an anticancer property. In one aspect a cell is transformed with the CAR and the CAR is expressed on the cell surface. In some embodiments, the cell (e.g., T cell) is transduced with a viral vector encoding a CAR. In some embodiments, the viral vector is a retroviral vector. In some embodiments, the viral vector is a lentiviral vector. In some such embodiments, the cell may stably express the CAR. In another embodiment, the cell (e.g., T cell) is transfected with a nucleic acid, e.g., mRNA, cDNA, DNA, encoding a CAR. In some such embodiments, the cell may transiently express the CAR.

In one aspect, the anti-CD19 protein binding portion of the CAR is a scFv antibody fragment. In one aspect such antibody fragments are functional in that they retain the equivalent binding affinity, e.g., they bind the same antigen with comparable affinity, as the IgG antibody from which it is derived. In one aspect such antibody fragments are functional in that they provide a biological response that can include, but is not limited to, activation of an immune response, inhibition of signal-transduction origination from its target antigen, inhibition of kinase activity, and the like, as will be understood by a skilled artisan. In one aspect, the anti-CD19 antigen binding domain of the CAR is a scFv antibody fragment that is humanized compared to the murine sequence of the scFv from which it is derived. In one aspect, the parental murine scFv sequence is the CAR19 construct provided in PCT publication WO2012/079000 and provided herein as SEQ ID NO:59. In one embodiment, the anti-CD19 binding domain is a scFv described in WO2012/079000 and provided in SEQ ID NO:59, or a sequence at least 95%, e.g., 95-99%, identical thereto.

In one aspect, entire CAR construct of the invention is encoded by a transgene whose entire sequence has been codon optimized for expression in a mammalian cell. Codon optimization refers to the discovery that the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons (i.e., codons that code for the same amino acid) in coding DNA is biased in different species. Such codon degeneracy allows an identical polypeptide to be encoded by a variety of nucleotide sequences. A variety of codon optimization methods is known in the art, and include, e.g., methods disclosed in at least U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,786,464 and 6,114,148.

The present invention also contemplates modifications of CDRs, e.g., modifications in one or more amino acid sequences of one or more CDRs of a CAR construct in order to generate functionally equivalent molecules. For instance, the CDR may have, e.g., up to and including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 alterations (e.g., substitutions) relative to a CDR sequence provided herein.

The nucleic acid sequences coding for the desired molecules can be obtained using recombinant methods known in the art, such as, for example by screening libraries from cells expressing the gene, by deriving the gene from a vector known to include the same, or by isolating directly from cells and tissues containing the same, using standard techniques. Alternatively, the nucleic acid of interest can be produced synthetically, rather than cloned.

The present invention includes, among other things, retroviral and lentiviral vector constructs expressing a CAR that can be directly transduced into a cell.

The present invention also includes an RNA construct that can be directly transfected into a cell. A method for generating mRNA for use in transfection involves in vitro transcription (IVT) of a template with specially designed primers, followed by polyA addition, to produce a construct containing 3′ and 5′ untranslated sequence (“UTR”), a 5′ cap and/or Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES), the nucleic acid to be expressed, and a polyA tail, typically 50-2000 bases in length (SEQ ID NO: 118). RNA so produced can efficiently transfect different kinds of cells. In one embodiment, the template includes sequences for the CAR. In an embodiment, an RNA CAR vector is transduced into a T cell by electroporation.

Antigen Binding Domain

In one aspect, the CAR of the invention comprises a target-specific binding element otherwise referred to as an antigen binding domain. The choice of moiety depends upon the type and number of ligands that define the surface of a target cell. For example, the antigen binding domain may be chosen to recognize a ligand that acts as a cell surface marker on target cells associated with a particular disease state. Thus examples of cell surface markers that may act as ligands for the antigen binding domain in a CAR of the invention include those associated with viral, bacterial and parasitic infections, autoimmune disease and cancer cells. The antigen-binding domain can bind, e.g., one or more of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a.

In one aspect, the CAR-mediated T-cell response can be directed to an antigen of interest by way of engineering an antigen binding domain that specifically binds a desired antigen into the CAR.

The antigen binding domain (e.g., an antigen-binding domain that binds one or more of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a) can be any domain that binds to the antigen including but not limited to a monoclonal antibody, a polyclonal antibody, a recombinant antibody, a murine antibody, a human antibody, a humanized antibody, and a functional fragment thereof, including but not limited to a single-domain antibody such as a heavy chain variable domain (VH), a light chain variable domain (VL) and a variable domain (VHH) of camelid derived nanobody, and to an alternative scaffold known in the art to function as antigen binding domain, such as a recombinant fibronectin domain, and the like.

In some instances, it is beneficial for the antigen binding domain to be derived from the same species in which the CAR will ultimately be used in. For example, for use in humans, it may be beneficial for the antigen binding domain (e.g., an antigen-binding domain that binds one or more of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a) of the CAR to comprise human or humanized residues for the antigen binding domain of an antibody or antibody fragment.

A humanized antibody can be produced using a variety of techniques known in the art, including but not limited to, CDR-grafting (see, e.g., European Patent No. EP 239,400; International Publication No. WO 91/09967; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,225,539, 5,530,101, and 5,585,089, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference), veneering or resurfacing (see, e.g., European Patent Nos. EP 592,106 and EP 519,596; Padlan, 1991, Molecular Immunology, 28(4/5):489-498; Studnicka et al., 1994, Protein Engineering, 7(6):805-814; and Roguska et al., 1994, PNAS, 91:969-973, each of which is incorporated herein by its entirety by reference), chain shuffling (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,332, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference), and techniques disclosed in, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US2005/0042664, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US2005/0048617, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,407,213, 5,766,886, International Publication No. WO 9317105, Tan et al., J. Immunol., 169:1119-25 (2002), Caldas et al., Protein Eng., 13(5):353-60 (2000), Morea et al., Methods, 20(3):267-79 (2000), Baca et al., J. Biol. Chem., 272(16):10678-84 (1997), Roguska et al., Protein Eng., 9(10):895-904 (1996), Couto et al., Cancer Res., 55 (23 Supp):5973s-5977s (1995), Couto et al., Cancer Res., 55(8):1717-22 (1995), Sandhu J S, Gene, 150(2):409-10 (1994), and Pedersen et al., J. Mol. Biol., 235(3):959-73 (1994), each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. Often, framework residues in the framework regions will be substituted with the corresponding residue from the CDR donor antibody to alter, for example improve, antigen binding. These framework substitutions are identified by methods well-known in the art, e.g., by modeling of the interactions of the CDR and framework residues to identify framework residues important for antigen binding and sequence comparison to identify unusual framework residues at particular positions. (See, e.g., Queen et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,089; and Riechmann et al., 1988, Nature, 332:323, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.)

A humanized antibody or antibody fragment has one or more amino acid residues remaining in it from a source which is nonhuman. These nonhuman amino acid residues are often referred to as “import” residues, which are typically taken from an “import” variable domain. As provided herein, humanized antibodies or antibody fragments comprise one or more CDRs from nonhuman immunoglobulin molecules and framework regions wherein the amino acid residues comprising the framework are derived completely or mostly from human germline. Multiple techniques for humanization of antibodies or antibody fragments are well-known in the art and can essentially be performed following the method of Winter and co-workers (Jones et al., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature, 332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239:1534-1536 (1988)), by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody, i.e., CDR-grafting (EP 239,400; PCT Publication No. WO 91/09967; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,816,567; 6,331,415; 5,225,539; 5,530,101; 5,585,089; 6,548,640, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference herein in their entirety). In such humanized antibodies and antibody fragments, substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a nonhuman species. Humanized antibodies are often human antibodies in which some CDR residues and possibly some framework (FR) residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies. Humanization of antibodies and antibody fragments can also be achieved by veneering or resurfacing (EP 592,106; EP 519,596; Padlan, 1991, Molecular Immunology, 28(4/5):489-498; Studnicka et al., Protein Engineering, 7(6):805-814 (1994); and Roguska et al., PNAS, 91:969-973 (1994)) or chain shuffling (U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,332), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference herein in their entirety.

The choice of human variable domains, both light and heavy, to be used in making the humanized antibodies is to reduce antigenicity. According to the so-called “best-fit” method, the sequence of the variable domain of a rodent antibody is screened against the entire library of known human variable-domain sequences. The human sequence which is closest to that of the rodent is then accepted as the human framework (FR) for the humanized antibody (Sims et al., J. Immunol., 151:2296 (1993); Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol., 196:901 (1987), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference herein in their entirety). Another method uses a particular framework derived from the consensus sequence of all human antibodies of a particular subgroup of light or heavy chains. The same framework may be used for several different humanized antibodies (see, e.g., Nicholson et al. Mol. Immun. 34 (16-17): 1157-1165 (1997); Carter et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:4285 (1992); Presta et al., J. Immunol., 151:2623 (1993), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference herein in their entirety). In some embodiments, the framework region, e.g., all four framework regions, of the heavy chain variable region are derived from a VH4_4-59 germline sequence. In one embodiment, the framework region can comprise, one, two, three, four or five modifications, e.g., substitutions, e.g., from the amino acid at the corresponding murine sequence (e.g., of SEQ ID NO:59). In one embodiment, the framework region, e.g., all four framework regions of the light chain variable region are derived from a VK3_1.25 germline sequence. In one embodiment, the framework region can comprise, one, two, three, four or five modifications, e.g., substitutions, e.g., from the amino acid at the corresponding murine sequence (e.g., of SEQ ID NO:59).

In some aspects, the portion of a CAR composition of the invention that comprises an antibody fragment is humanized with retention of high affinity for the target antigen and other favorable biological properties. According to one aspect of the invention, humanized antibodies and antibody fragments are prepared by a process of analysis of the parental sequences and various conceptual humanized products using three-dimensional models of the parental and humanized sequences. Three-dimensional immunoglobulin models are commonly available and are familiar to those skilled in the art. Computer programs are available which illustrate and display probable three-dimensional conformational structures of selected candidate immunoglobulin sequences. Inspection of these displays permits analysis of the likely role of the residues in the functioning of the candidate immunoglobulin sequence, e.g., the analysis of residues that influence the ability of the candidate immunoglobulin to bind the target antigen. In this way, FR residues can be selected and combined from the recipient and import sequences so that the desired antibody or antibody fragment characteristic, such as increased affinity for the target antigen, is achieved. In general, the CDR residues are directly and most substantially involved in influencing antigen binding.

A humanized antibody or antibody fragment may retain a similar antigenic specificity as the original antibody, e.g., in the present invention, the ability to bind human CD19, CD20, or CD22. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody or antibody fragment may have improved affinity and/or specificity of binding to human CD19, CD20, or CD22.

In one aspect, the binding domain (e.g., an antigen-binding domain that binds one or more of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a) is a fragment, e.g., a single chain variable fragment (scFv). In one aspect, the binding domain is a Fv, a Fab, a (Fab′)2, or a bi-functional (e.g. bi-specific) hybrid antibody (e.g., Lanzavecchia et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 17, 105 (1987)). In one aspect, the antibodies and fragments thereof of the invention binds a CD19, CD20, or CD22 protein with wild-type or enhanced affinity.

In some instances, scFvs can be prepared according to method known in the art (see, for example, Bird et al., (1988) Science 242:423-426 and Huston et al., (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883). ScFv molecules can be produced by linking VH and VL regions together using flexible polypeptide linkers. The scFv molecules comprise a linker (e.g., a Ser-Gly linker) with an optimized length and/or amino acid composition. The linker length can greatly affect how the variable regions of a scFv fold and interact. In fact, if a short polypeptide linker is employed (e.g., between 5-10 amino acids) intrachain folding is prevented. Interchain folding is also required to bring the two variable regions together to form a functional epitope binding site. For examples of linker orientation and size see, e.g., Hollinger et al. 1993 Proc Natl Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 90:6444-6448, U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2005/0100543, 2005/0175606, 2007/0014794, and PCT publication Nos. WO2006/020258 and WO2007/024715, is incorporated herein by reference.

An scFv can comprise a linker of at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, or more amino acid residues between its VL and VH regions. The linker sequence may comprise any naturally occurring amino acid. In some embodiments, the linker sequence comprises amino acids glycine and serine. In another embodiment, the linker sequence comprises sets of glycine and serine repeats such as (Gly₄Ser)n, where n is a positive integer equal to or greater than 1 (SEQ ID NO:18). In one embodiment, the linker can be (Gly₄Ser)₄ (SEQ ID NO: 106) or (Gly₄Ser)₃ (SEQ ID NO: 107). Variation in the linker length may retain or enhance activity, giving rise to superior efficacy in activity studies.

In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the antigen binding domain (e.g., an antigen-binding domain that binds one or more of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a) or other portions or the entire CAR) can be modified, e.g., an amino acid sequence described herein can be modified, e.g., by a conservative substitution. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art, including basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine).

Percent identity in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refers to two or more sequences that are the same. Two sequences are “substantially identical” if two sequences have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (e.g., 60% identity, optionally 70%, 71%. 72%. 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identity over a specified region, or, when not specified, over the entire sequence), when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window, or designated region as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by manual alignment and visual inspection. Optionally, the identity exists over a region that is at least about 50 nucleotides (or 10 amino acids) in length, or over a region that is 100 to 500 or 1000 or more nucleotides (or 20, 50, 200 or more amino acids) in length.

For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Default program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman, (1970) Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482c, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch, (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, by the search for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman, (1988) Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444, by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see, e.g., Brent et al., (2003) Current Protocols in Molecular Biology).

Two examples of algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al., (1977) Nuc. Acids Res. 25:3389-3402; and Altschul et al., (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

The percent identity between two amino acid sequences can also be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller, (1988) Comput. Appl. Biosci. 4:11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4. In addition, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences can be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:444-453) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at www.gcg.com), using either a Blossom 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

In one aspect, the present invention contemplates modifications of the starting antibody or fragment (e.g., scFv) amino acid sequence that generate functionally equivalent molecules. For example, the VH or VL of a binding domain (e.g., an antigen-binding domain that binds one or more of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a), e.g., scFv, comprised in the CAR can be modified to retain at least about 70%, 71%. 72%. 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identity of the starting VH or VL framework region of the anti-CD19 binding domain, e.g., scFv. More broadly, the VH or VL of a B-cell antigen binding domain, to CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1, e.g., scFv, comprised in the CAR can be modified to retain at least about 70%, 71%. 72%. 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identity of the starting VH or VL framework region of the antigen binding domain, e.g., scFv. The present invention contemplates modifications of the entire CAR construct, e.g., modifications in one or more amino acid sequences of the various domains of the CAR construct in order to generate functionally equivalent molecules. The CAR construct can be modified to retain at least about 70%, 71%. 72%. 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% identity of the starting CAR construct.

Bispecific CARs

In an embodiment a multispecific antibody molecule is a bispecific antibody molecule. A bispecific antibody has specificity for no more than two antigens. A bispecific antibody molecule is characterized by a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence which has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence that has binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment the first and second epitopes are on the same antigen, e.g., the same protein (or subunit of a multimeric protein). In an embodiment the first and second epitopes overlap. In an embodiment the first and second epitopes do not overlap. In an embodiment the first and second epitopes are on different antigens, e.g., different proteins (or different subunits of a multimeric protein). In an embodiment a bispecific antibody molecule comprises a heavy chain variable domain sequence and a light chain variable domain sequence which have binding specificity for a first epitope and a heavy chain variable domain sequence and a light chain variable domain sequence which have binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment a bispecific antibody molecule comprises a half antibody having binding specificity for a first epitope and a half antibody having binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment a bispecific antibody molecule comprises a half antibody, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a first epitope and a half antibody, or fragment thereof, having binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment a bispecific antibody molecule comprises a scFv, or fragment thereof, have binding specificity for a first epitope and a scFv, or fragment thereof, have binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment the first epitope is located on CD19 and the second epitope is located on CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1.

The contents of the above-referenced applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

Within each antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., scFv) of a bispecific antibody molecule, the VH can be upstream or downstream of the VL. In some embodiments, the upstream antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., scFv) is arranged with its VH (VH₁) upstream of its VL (VL₁) and the downstream antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., scFv) is arranged with its VL (VL₂) upstream of its VH (VH₂), such that the overall bispecific antibody molecule has the arrangement VH₁—VL₁-VL₂-VH₂. In other embodiments, the upstream antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., scFv) is arranged with its VL (VL₁) upstream of its VH (VH₁) and the downstream antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., scFv) is arranged with its VH (VH₂) upstream of its VL (VL₂), such that the overall bispecific antibody molecule has the arrangement VL₁-VH₁—VH₂—VL₂. Optionally, a linker is disposed between the two antibodies or antibody fragments (e.g., scFvs), e.g., between VL₁ and VL₂ if the construct is arranged as VH₁—VL₁-VL₂-VH₂, or between VH₁ and VH₂ if the construct is arranged as VL₁-VH₁—VH₂—VL₂. The linker may be a linker as described herein, e.g., a (Gly₄-Ser)n linker, wherein n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, e.g., 4 (SEQ ID NO: 53). In general, the linker between the two scFvs should be long enough to avoid mispairing between the domains of the two scFvs. Optionally, a linker is disposed between the VL and VH of the first scFv. Optionally, a linker is disposed between the VL and VH of the second scFv. In constructs that have multiple linkers, any two or more of the linkers can be the same or different. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a bispecific CAR comprises VLs, VHs, and optionally one or more linkers in an arrangement as described herein.

In certain embodiments the antibody molecule is a bispecific antibody molecule having a first binding specificity for a first B-cell epitope and a second binding specificity for another B-cell antigen. For instance, in some embodiments the bispecific antibody molecule has a first binding specificity for CD19 and a second binding specificity for one or more of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a. In some embodiments the bispecific antibody molecule has a first binding specificity for CD19 and a second binding specificity for CD22.

Chimeric TCR

In one aspect, the antibodies and antibody fragments disclosed herein (e.g., those directed against CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a) can be grafted to one or more constant domain of a T cell receptor (“TCR”) chain, for example, a TCR alpha or TCR beta chain, to create an chimeric TCR that binds specifically to a cancer associated antigen. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that chimeric TCRs will signal through the TCR complex upon antigen binding. For example, an scFv as disclosed herein, can be grafted to the constant domain, e.g., at least a portion of the extracellular constant domain, the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic domain, of a TCR chain, for example, the TCR alpha chain and/or the TCR beta chain. As another example, an antibody fragment, for example a VL domain as described herein, can be grafted to the constant domain of a TCR alpha chain, and an antibody fragment, for example a VH domain as described herein, can be grafted to the constant domain of a TCR beta chain (or alternatively, a VL domain may be grafted to the constant domain of the TCR beta chain and a VH domain may be grafted to a TCR alpha chain). As another example, the CDRs of an antibody or antibody fragment, e.g., the CDRs of an antibody or antibody fragment as described in any of the Tables herein may be grafted into a TCR alpha and/or beta chain to create a chimeric TCR that binds specifically to a cancer associated antigen. For example, the LC CDRs disclosed herein may be grafted into the variable domain of a TCR alpha chain and the HC CDRs disclosed herein may be grafted to the variable domain of a TCR beta chain, or vice versa. Such chimeric TCRs may be produced by any appropriate method (For example, Willemsen R A et al, Gene Therapy 2000; 7: 1369-1377; Zhang T et al, Cancer Gene Ther 2004; 11: 487-496; Aggen et al, Gene Ther. 2012 April; 19(4):365-74).

Non-Antibody Scaffolds

In embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a non antibody scaffold, e.g., a fibronectin, ankyrin, domain antibody, lipocalin, small modular immuno-pharmaceutical, maxybody, Protein A, or affilin. The non antibody scaffold has the ability to bind to target antigen on a cell. In embodiments, the antigen binding domain is a polypeptide or fragment thereof of a naturally occurring protein expressed on a cell. In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a non-antibody scaffold. A wide variety of non-antibody scaffolds can be employed so long as the resulting polypeptide includes at least one binding region which specifically binds to the target antigen on a target cell.

Non-antibody scaffolds include: fibronectin (Novartis, MA), ankyrin (Molecular Partners AG, Zurich, Switzerland), domain antibodies (Domantis, Ltd., Cambridge, Mass., and Ablynx nv, Zwijnaarde, Belgium), lipocalin (Pieris Proteolab AG, Freising, Germany), small modular immuno-pharmaceuticals (Trubion Pharmaceuticals Inc., Seattle, Wash.), maxybodies (Avidia, Inc., Mountain View, Calif.), Protein A (Affibody AG, Sweden), and affilin (gamma-crystallin or ubiquitin) (Scil Proteins GmbH, Halle, Germany).

Fibronectin scaffolds can be based on fibronectin type III domain (e.g., the tenth module of the fibronectin type III (¹⁰Fn3 domain)). The fibronectin type III domain has 7 or 8 beta strands which are distributed between two beta sheets, which themselves pack against each other to form the core of the protein, and further containing loops (analogous to CDRs) which connect the beta strands to each other and are solvent exposed. There are at least three such loops at each edge of the beta sheet sandwich, where the edge is the boundary of the protein perpendicular to the direction of the beta strands (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,818,418). Because of this structure, this non-antibody scaffold mimics antigen binding properties that are similar in nature and affinity to those of antibodies. These scaffolds can be used in a loop randomization and shuffling strategy in vitro that is similar to the process of affinity maturation of antibodies in vivo.

The ankyrin technology is based on using proteins with ankyrin derived repeat modules as scaffolds for bearing variable regions which can be used for binding to different targets. The ankyrin repeat module is a 33 amino acid polypeptide consisting of two anti-parallel α-helices and a β-turn. Binding of the variable regions is mostly optimized by using ribosome display.

Avimers are derived from natural A-domain containing protein such as HER3. These domains are used by nature for protein-protein interactions and in human over 250 proteins are structurally based on A-domains. Avimers consist of a number of different “A-domain” monomers (2-10) linked via amino acid linkers. Avimers can be created that can bind to the target antigen using the methodology described in, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20040175756; 20050053973; 20050048512; and 20060008844.

Affibody affinity ligands are small, simple proteins composed of a three-helix bundle based on the scaffold of one of the IgG-binding domains of Protein A. Protein A is a surface protein from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. This scaffold domain consists of 58 amino acids, 13 of which are randomized to generate affibody libraries with a large number of ligand variants (See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,831,012). Affibody molecules mimic antibodies, they have a molecular weight of 6 kDa, compared to the molecular weight of antibodies, which is 150 kDa. In spite of its small size, the binding site of affibody molecules is similar to that of an antibody.

Protein epitope mimetics (PEM) are medium-sized, cyclic, peptide-like molecules (MW 1-2 kDa) mimicking beta-hairpin secondary structures of proteins, the major secondary structure involved in protein-protein interactions. Antigen binding domains, e.g., those comprising scFv, single domain antibodies, or camelid antibodies, can be directed to any target receptor/ligand described herein, e.g., the PD1 receptors, PD-L1 or PD-L2.

In an embodiment the antigen binding domain comprises the extracellular domain, or a counter-ligand binding fragment thereof, of molecule that binds a counterligand on the surface of a target cell.

An antigen binding domain can comprise the extracellular domain of an inhibitory receptor. Engagement with a counterligand of the coinhibitory molecule is redirected into an optimization of immune effector response.

An antigen binding domain can comprise the extracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule, referred to as a Costimulatory ECD domain, Engagement with a counter ligand of the costimulatory molecule results in optimization of immune effector response.

Transmembrane Domain

With respect to the transmembrane domain, in various embodiments, a CAR can be designed to comprise a transmembrane domain that is attached to the extracellular domain of the CAR. A transmembrane domain can include one or more additional amino acids adjacent to the transmembrane region, e.g., one or more amino acid associated with the extracellular region of the protein from which the transmembrane was derived (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 up to 15 amino acids of the extracellular region) and/or one or more additional amino acids associated with the intracellular region of the protein from which the transmembrane protein is derived (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 up to 15 amino acids of the intracellular region). In one aspect, the transmembrane domain is one that is associated with one of the other domains of the CAR, e.g., in one embodiment, the transmembrane domain may be from the same protein that the signaling domain, costimulatory domain or the hinge domain is derived from. In another aspect, the transmembrane domain is not derived from the same protein that any other domain of the CAR is derived from. In some instances, the transmembrane domain can be selected or modified by amino acid substitution to avoid binding of such domains to the transmembrane domains of the same or different surface membrane proteins, e.g., to minimize interactions with other members of the receptor complex. In one aspect, the transmembrane domain is capable of homodimerization with another CAR on the cell surface of a CAR-expressing cell. In a different aspect the amino acid sequence of the transmembrane domain may be modified or substituted so as to minimize interactions with the binding domains of the native binding partner present in the same CAR-expressing cell.

The transmembrane domain may be derived either from a natural or from a recombinant source. Where the source is natural, the domain may be derived from any membrane-bound or transmembrane protein. In one aspect the transmembrane domain is capable of signaling to the intracellular domain(s) whenever the CAR has bound to a target. A transmembrane domain of particular use in this invention may include at least the transmembrane region(s) of e.g., the alpha, beta or zeta chain of the T-cell receptor, CD28, CD3 epsilon, CD45, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD9, CD16, CD22, CD33, CD37, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD134, CD137, CD154. In some embodiments, a transmembrane domain may include at least the transmembrane region(s) of, e.g., KIRDS2, OX40, CD2, CD27, LFA-1 (CD11a, CD18), ICOS (CD278), 4-1BB (CD137), GITR, CD40, BAFFR, HVEM (LIGHTR), SLAMF7, NKp80 (KLRF1), NKp44, NKp30, NKp46, CD160, CD19, IL2R beta, IL2R gamma, IL7R α, ITGA1, VLA1, CD49a, ITGA4, IA4, CD49D, ITGA6, VLA-6, CD49f, ITGAD, CD11d, ITGAE, CD103, ITGAL, CD11a, LFA-1, ITGAM, CD11b, ITGAX, CD11c, ITGB1, CD29, ITGB2, CD18, LFA-1, ITGB7, TNFR2, DNAM1 (CD226), SLAMF4 (CD244, 2B4), CD84, CD96 (Tactile), CEACAM1, CRTAM, Ly9 (CD229), CD160 (BY55), PSGL1, CD100 (SEMA4D), SLAMF6 (NTB-A, Ly108), SLAM (SLAMF1, CD150, IPO-3), BLAME (SLAMF8), SELPLG (CD162), LTBR, PAG/Cbp, NKG2D, NKG2C, or CD19.

In some instances, the transmembrane domain can be attached to the extracellular region of the CAR, e.g., the antigen binding domain of the CAR, via a hinge, e.g., a hinge from a human protein. For example, in one embodiment, the hinge can be a human Ig (immunoglobulin) hinge, e.g., an IgG4 hinge, an IgD hinge, a GS linker (e.g., a GS linker described herein), a KIR2DS2 hinge, or a CD8a hinge. In one embodiment, the hinge or spacer comprises (e.g., consists of) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14. In one aspect, the transmembrane domain comprises (e.g., consists of) a transmembrane domain of SEQ ID NO: 15.

In one aspect, the hinge or spacer comprises an IgG4 hinge. For example, in one embodiment, the hinge or spacer comprises a hinge of the amino acid sequence ESKYGPPCPPCPAPEFLGGPSVFLFPPKPKDTLMISRTPEVTCVVVDVSQEDPEVQFNW YVDGVEVHNAKTKPREEQFNSTYRVVSVLTVLHQDWLNGKEYKCKVSNKGLPSSIEK TISKAKGQPREPQVYTLPPSQEEMTKNQVSLTCLVKGFYPSDIAVEWESNGQPENNYK TTPPVLDSDGSFFLYSRLTVDKSRWQEGNVFSCSVMHEALHNHYTQKSLSLSLGKM (SEQ ID NO:45).

In one aspect, the transmembrane domain may be recombinant, in which case it will comprise predominantly hydrophobic residues such as leucine and valine. In one aspect a triplet of phenylalanine, tryptophan and valine can be found at each end of a recombinant transmembrane domain.

Optionally, a short oligo- or polypeptide linker, between 2 and 10 amino acids in length may form the linkage between the transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic region of the CAR. A glycine-serine doublet provides a particularly suitable linker. For example, in one aspect, the linker comprises the amino acid sequence of GGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO:49). In some embodiments, the linker is encoded by a nucleotide sequence of

(SEQ ID NO: 50) GGTGGCGGAGGTTCTGGAGGTGGAGGTTCC.

In one aspect, the hinge or spacer comprises a KIR2DS2 hinge.

Cytoplasmic Domain

The cytoplasmic domain or region of the CAR includes an intracellular signaling domain. An intracellular signaling domain is generally responsible for activation of at least one of the normal effector functions of the immune cell in which the CAR has been introduced.

Examples of intracellular signaling domains for use in the CAR of the invention include the cytoplasmic sequences of the T cell receptor (TCR) and co-receptors that act in concert to initiate signal transduction following antigen receptor engagement, as well as any derivative or variant of these sequences and any recombinant sequence that has the same functional capability.

It is known that signals generated through the TCR alone are insufficient for full activation of the T cell and that a secondary and/or costimulatory signal is also required. Thus, T cell activation can be said to be mediated by two distinct classes of cytoplasmic signaling sequences: those that initiate antigen-dependent primary activation through the TCR (primary intracellular signaling domains) and those that act in an antigen-independent manner to provide a secondary or costimulatory signal (secondary cytoplasmic domain, e.g., a costimulatory domain).

A primary signaling domain regulates primary activation of the TCR complex either in a stimulatory way, or in an inhibitory way. Primary intracellular signaling domains that act in a stimulatory manner may contain signaling motifs which are known as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs or ITAMs.

Examples of ITAM containing primary intracellular signaling domains that are of particular use in the invention include those of CD3 zeta, common FcR gamma (FCER1G), Fc gamma RIIa, FcR beta (Fc Epsilon R1b), CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, CD3 epsilon, CD79a, CD79b, CD278 (also known as “ICOS”), FcεRI, DAP10, DAP12, and CD66d. In one embodiment, a CAR of the invention comprises an intracellular signaling domain, e.g., a primary signaling domain of CD3-zeta.

In one embodiment, a primary signaling domain comprises a modified ITAM domain, e.g., a mutated ITAM domain which has altered (e.g., increased or decreased) activity as compared to the native ITAM domain. In one embodiment, a primary signaling domain comprises a modified ITAM-containing primary intracellular signaling domain, e.g., an optimized and/or truncated ITAM-containing primary intracellular signaling domain. In an embodiment, a primary signaling domain comprises one, two, three, four or more ITAM motifs.

Further examples of molecules containing a primary intracellular signaling domain that are of particular use in the invention include those of DAP10, DAP12, and CD32.

Costimulatory Signaling Domain

The intracellular signalling domain of the CAR can comprise the CD3-zeta signaling domain by itself or it can be combined with any other desired intracellular signaling domain(s) useful in the context of a CAR of the invention. For example, the intracellular signaling domain of the CAR can comprise a CD3 zeta chain portion and a costimulatory signaling domain. The costimulatory signaling domain refers to a portion of the CAR comprising the intracellular domain of a costimulatory molecule. In one embodiment, the intracellular domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of CD28. In one aspect, the intracellular domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of ICOS.

A costimulatory molecule can be a cell surface molecule other than an antigen receptor or its ligands that is required for an efficient response of lymphocytes to an antigen. Examples of such molecules include CD27, CD28, 4-1BB (CD137), OX40, CD30, CD40, PD1, ICOS, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), CD2, CD7, LIGHT, NKG2C, B7-H3, and a ligand that specifically binds with CD83, and the like. For example, CD27 costimulation has been demonstrated to enhance expansion, effector function, and survival of human CART cells in vitro and augments human T cell persistence and antitumor activity in vivo (Song et al. Blood. 2012; 119(3):696-706). Further examples of such costimulatory molecules include MHC class I molecule, TNF receptor proteins, Immunoglobulin-like proteins, cytokine receptors, integrins, signaling lymphocytic activation molecules (SLAM proteins), activating NK cell receptors, BTLA, a Toll ligand receptor, OX40, CD2, CD7, CD27, CD28, CD30, CD40, CDS, ICAM-1, LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), 4-1BB (CD137), B7-H3, CDS, ICAM-1, ICOS (CD278), GITR, BAFFR, LIGHT, HVEM (LIGHTR), KIRDS2, SLAMF7, NKp80 (KLRF1), NKp44, NKp30, NKp46, CD19, CD4, CD8alpha, CD8beta, IL2R beta, IL2R gamma, IL7R alpha, ITGA4, VLA1, CD49a, ITGA4, IA4, CD49D, ITGA6, VLA-6, CD49f, ITGAD, CD11d, ITGAE, CD103, ITGAL, CD11a, LFA-1, ITGAM, CD11b, ITGAX, CD11c, ITGB1, CD29, ITGB2, CD18, LFA-1, ITGB7, NKG2D, NKG2C, TNFR2, TRANCE/RANKL, DNAM1 (CD226), SLAMF4 (CD244, 2B4), CD84, CD96 (Tactile), CEACAM1, CRTAM, Ly9 (CD229), CD160 (BY55), PSGL1, CD100 (SEMA4D), CD69, SLAMF6 (NTB-A, Ly108), SLAM (SLAMF1, CD150, IPO-3), BLAME (SLAMF8), SELPLG (CD162), LTBR, LAT, GADS, SLP-76, PAG/Cbp, CD19a, and a ligand that specifically binds with CD83.

The intracellular signaling sequences within the cytoplasmic portion of the CAR of the invention may be linked to each other in a random or specified order. Optionally, a short oligo- or polypeptide linker, for example, between 2 and 10 amino acids (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 amino acids) in length may form the linkage between intracellular signaling sequence. In one embodiment, a glycine-serine doublet can be used as a suitable linker. In one embodiment, a single amino acid, e.g., an alanine, a glycine, can be used as a suitable linker.

In one aspect, the intracellular signaling domain is designed to comprise two or more, e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, or more, costimulatory signaling domains. In an embodiment, the two or more, e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, or more, costimulatory signaling domains, are separated by a linker molecule, e.g., a linker molecule described herein. In one embodiment, the intracellular signaling domain comprises two costimulatory signaling domains. In some embodiments, the linker molecule is a glycine residue. In some embodiments, the linker is an alanine residue.

In one aspect, the intracellular signaling domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of CD28. In one aspect, the intracellular signaling domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of 4-1BB. In one aspect, the signaling domain of 4-1BB is a signaling domain of SEQ ID NO: 16. In one aspect, the signaling domain of CD3-zeta is a signaling domain of SEQ ID NO: 17.

In one aspect, the intracellular signaling domain is designed to comprise the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of CD27. In one aspect, the signaling domain of CD27 comprises an amino acid sequence of QRRKYRSNKGESPVEPAEPCRYSCPREEEGSTIPIQEDYRKPEPACSP (SEQ ID NO:51).

In one aspect, the signalling domain of CD27 is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence of

In an embodiment, a CAR molecule described herein comprises one or more components of a natural killer cell receptor (NKR), thereby forming an NKR-CAR. The NKR component can be a transmembrane domain, a hinge domain, or a cytoplasmic domain from any of the following natural killer cell receptors: killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR), e.g., KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2/L3, KIR2DL4, KIR2DL5A, KIR2DL5B, KIR2DS1, KIR2DS2, KIR2DS3, KIR2DS4, DIR2DS5, KIR3DL1/S1, KIR3DL2, KIR3DL3, KIR2DP1, and KIR3DP1; natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR), e.g., NKp30, NKp44, NKp46; signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) family of immune cell receptors, e.g., CD48, CD229, 2B4, CD84, NTB-A, CRACC, BLAME, and CD2F-10; Fc receptor (FcR), e.g., CD16, and CD64; and Ly49 receptors, e.g., LY49A, LY49C. The NKR-CAR molecules described herein may interact with an adaptor molecule or intracellular signaling domain, e.g., DAP12. Exemplary configurations and sequences of CAR molecules comprising NKR components are described in International Publication No. WO2014/145252, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Strategies for Regulating Chimeric Antigen Receptors

In some embodiments, a regulatable CAR (RCAR) where the CAR activity can be controlled is desirable to optimize the safety and efficacy of a CAR therapy. There are many ways CAR activities can be regulated. For example, inducing apoptosis using, e.g., a caspase fused to a dimerization domain (see, e.g., Di et al., N Engl. J. Med. 2011 Nov. 3; 365(18):1673-1683), can be used as a safety switch in the CAR therapy of the instant invention. In one embodiment, the cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) expressing a CAR of the present invention further comprise an inducible apoptosis switch, wherein a human caspase (e.g., caspase 9) or a modified version is fused to a modification of the human FKB protein that allows conditional dimerization. In the presence of a small molecule, such as a rapalog (e.g., AP 1903, AP20187), the inducible caspase (e.g., caspase 9) is activated and leads to the rapid apoptosis and death of the cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) expressing a CAR of the present invention. Examples of a caspase-based inducible apoptosis switch (or one or more aspects of such a switch) have been described in, e.g., US2004040047; US20110286980; US20140255360; WO1997031899; WO2014151960; WO2014164348; WO2014197638; WO2014197638; all of which are incorporated by reference herein.

In another example, CAR-expressing cells can also express an inducible Caspase-9 (iCaspase-9) molecule that, upon administration of a dimerizer drug (e.g., rimiducid (also called AP1903 (Bellicum Pharmaceuticals) or AP20187 (Ariad)) leads to activation of the Caspase-9 and apoptosis of the cells. The iCaspase-9 molecule contains a chemical inducer of dimerization (CID) binding domain that mediates dimerization in the presence of a CID. This results in inducible and selective depletion of CAR-expressing cells. In some cases, the iCaspase-9 molecule is encoded by a nucleic acid molecule separate from the CAR-encoding vector(s). In some cases, the iCaspase-9 molecule is encoded by the same nucleic acid molecule as the CAR-encoding vector. The iCaspase-9 can provide a safety switch to avoid any toxicity of CAR-expressing cells. See, e.g., Song et al. Cancer Gene Ther. 2008; 15(10):667-75; Clinical Trial Id. No. NCT02107963; and Di Stasi et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2011; 365:1673-83.

Alternative strategies for regulating the CAR therapy of the instant invention include utilizing small molecules or antibodies that deactivate or turn off CAR activity, e.g., by deleting CAR-expressing cells, e.g., by inducing antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). For example, CAR-expressing cells described herein may also express an antigen that is recognized by molecules capable of inducing cell death, e.g., ADCC or complement-induced cell death. For example, CAR expressing cells described herein may also express a receptor capable of being targeted by an antibody or antibody fragment. Examples of such receptors include EpCAM, VEGFR, integrins (e.g., integrins ανβ3, α4, αI¾β3, α4β7, α5β1, ανβ3, αν), members of the TNF receptor superfamily (e.g., TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2), PDGF Receptor, interferon receptor, folate receptor, GPNMB, ICAM-1, HLA-DR, CEA, CA-125, MUC1, TAG-72, IL-6 receptor, 5T4, GD2, GD3, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD11, CD11a/LFA-1, CD15, CD18/ITGB2, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD23/lgE Receptor, CD25, CD28, CD30, CD33, CD38, CD40, CD41, CD44, CD51, CD52, CD62L, CD74, CD80, CD125, CD147/basigin, CD152/CTLA-4, CD154/CD40L, CD195/CCR5, CD319/SLAMF7, and EGFR, and truncated versions thereof (e.g., versions preserving one or more extracellular epitopes but lacking one or more regions within the cytoplasmic domain).

For example, a CAR-expressing cell described herein may also express a truncated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) which lacks signaling capacity but retains the epitope that is recognized by molecules capable of inducing ADCC, e.g., cetuximab (ERBITUX®), such that administration of cetuximab induces ADCC and subsequent depletion of the CAR-expressing cells (see, e.g., WO2011/056894, and Jonnalagadda et al., Gene Ther. 2013; 20(8)853-860). Another strategy includes expressing a highly compact marker/suicide gene that combines target epitopes from both CD32 and CD20 antigens in the CAR-expressing cells described herein, which binds rituximab, resulting in selective depletion of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., by ADCC (see, e.g., Philip et al., Blood. 2014; 124(8)1277-1287). Other methods for depleting CAR-expressing cells described herein include administration of CAMPATH, a monoclonal anti-CD52 antibody that selectively binds and targets mature lymphocytes, e.g., CAR-expressing cells, for destruction, e.g., by inducing ADCC. In other embodiments, the CAR-expressing cell can be selectively targeted using a CAR ligand, e.g., an anti-idiotypic antibody. In some embodiments, the anti-idiotypic antibody can cause effector cell activity, e.g., ADCC or ADC activities, thereby reducing the number of CAR-expressing cells. In other embodiments, the CAR ligand, e.g., the anti-idiotypic antibody, can be coupled to an agent that induces cell killing, e.g., a toxin, thereby reducing the number of CAR-expressing cells. Alternatively, the CAR molecules themselves can be configured such that the activity can be regulated, e.g., turned on and off, as described below.

In other embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein may also express a target protein recognized by the T cell depleting agent. In one embodiment, the target protein is CD20 and the T cell depleting agent is an anti-CD20 antibody, e.g., rituximab. In such embodiment, the T cell depleting agent is administered once it is desirable to reduce or eliminate the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., to mitigate the CAR induced toxicity. In other embodiments, the T cell depleting agent is an anti-CD52 antibody, e.g., alemtuzumab.

In an aspect, a RCAR comprises a set of polypeptides, typically two in the simplest embodiments, in which the components of a standard CAR described herein, e.g., an antigen binding domain and an intracellular signaling domain, are partitioned on separate polypeptides or members. In some embodiments, the set of polypeptides include a dimerization switch that, upon the presence of a dimerization molecule, can couple the polypeptides to one another, e.g., can couple an antigen binding domain to an intracellular signaling domain. In one embodiment, a CAR of the present invention utilizes a dimerization switch as those described in, e.g., WO2014127261, which is incorporated by reference herein. Additional description and exemplary configurations of such regulatable CARs are provided herein and in International Publication No. WO 2015/090229, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

In some embodiments, an RCAR involves a switch domain, e.g., a FKBP switch domain, as set out SEQ ID NO: 122, or comprise a fragment of FKBP having the ability to bind with FRB, e.g., as set out in SEQ ID NO: 123. In some embodiments, the RCAR involves a switch domain comprising a FRB sequence, e.g., as set out in SEQ ID NO: 124, or a mutant FRB sequence, e.g., as set out in any of SEQ ID Nos. 125-130.

Split CAR

In some embodiments, the CAR-expressing cell uses a split CAR. The split CAR approach is described in more detail in publications WO2014/055442 and WO2014/055657. Briefly, a split CAR system comprises a cell expressing a first CAR having a first antigen binding domain and a costimulatory domain (e.g., 41BB), and the cell also expresses a second CAR having a second antigen binding domain and an intracellular signaling domain (e.g., CD3 zeta). When the cell encounters the first antigen, the costimulatory domain is activated, and the cell proliferates. When the cell encounters the second antigen, the intracellular signaling domain is activated and cell-killing activity begins. Thus, the CAR-expressing cell is only fully activated in the presence of both antigens.

RNA Transfection

Disclosed herein are methods for producing an in vitro transcribed RNA CAR. The present invention also includes (among other things) a CAR encoding RNA construct that can be directly transfected into a cell. A method for generating mRNA for use in transfection can involve in vitro transcription (IVT) of a template with specially designed primers, followed by polyA addition, to produce a construct containing 3′ and 5′ untranslated sequence (“UTR”), a 5′ cap and/or Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES), the nucleic acid to be expressed, and a polyA tail, typically 50-2000 bases in length (SEQ ID NO:118). RNA so produced can efficiently transfect different kinds of cells. In one aspect, the template includes sequences for the CAR.

In one aspect the CAR is encoded by a messenger RNA (mRNA). In one aspect the mRNA encoding the CAR is introduced into an immune effector cell, e.g., a T cell or a NK cell, for production of a CAR-expressing cell, e.g., a CART cell or a CAR NK cell.

In one embodiment, the in vitro transcribed RNA CAR can be introduced to a cell as a form of transient transfection. The RNA is produced by in vitro transcription using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-generated template. DNA of interest from any source can be directly converted by PCR into a template for in vitro mRNA synthesis using appropriate primers and RNA polymerase. The source of the DNA can be, for example, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, phage DNA, cDNA, synthetic DNA sequence or any other appropriate source of DNA. A desired temple for in vitro transcription is a CAR of the present invention. For example, the template for the RNA CAR comprises an extracellular region comprising a single chain variable domain of an anti-tumor antibody; a hinge region, a transmembrane domain (e.g., a transmembrane domain of CD8a); and a cytoplasmic region that includes an intracellular signaling domain, e.g., comprising the signaling domain of CD3-zeta and the signaling domain of 4-1BB.

In one embodiment, the DNA to be used for PCR contains an open reading frame. The DNA can be from a naturally occurring DNA sequence from the genome of an organism. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid can include some or all of the 5′ and/or 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs). The nucleic acid can include exons and introns. In one embodiment, the DNA to be used for PCR is a human nucleic acid sequence. In another embodiment, the DNA to be used for PCR is a human nucleic acid sequence including the 5′ and 3′ UTRs. The DNA can alternatively be an artificial DNA sequence that is not normally expressed in a naturally occurring organism. An exemplary artificial DNA sequence is one that contains portions of genes that are ligated together to form an open reading frame that encodes a fusion protein. The portions of DNA that are ligated together can be from a single organism or from more than one organism.

PCR is used to generate a template for in vitro transcription of mRNA which is used for transfection. Methods for performing PCR are well known in the art. Primers for use in PCR are designed to have regions that are substantially complementary to regions of the DNA to be used as a template for the PCR. “Substantially complementary,” as used herein, refers to sequences of nucleotides where a majority or all of the bases in the primer sequence are complementary, or one or more bases are non-complementary, or mismatched. Substantially complementary sequences are able to anneal or hybridize with the intended DNA target under annealing conditions used for PCR. The primers can be designed to be substantially complementary to any portion of the DNA template. For example, the primers can be designed to amplify the portion of a nucleic acid that is normally transcribed in cells (the open reading frame), including 5′ and 3′ UTRs. The primers can also be designed to amplify a portion of a nucleic acid that encodes a particular domain of interest. In one embodiment, the primers are designed to amplify the coding region of a human cDNA, including all or portions of the 5′ and 3′ UTRs. Primers useful for PCR can be generated by synthetic methods that are well known in the art. “Forward primers” are primers that contain a region of nucleotides that are substantially complementary to nucleotides on the DNA template that are upstream of the DNA sequence that is to be amplified. “Upstream” is used herein to refer to a location 5, to the DNA sequence to be amplified relative to the coding strand. “Reverse primers” are primers that contain a region of nucleotides that are substantially complementary to a double-stranded DNA template that are downstream of the DNA sequence that is to be amplified. “Downstream” is used herein to refer to a location 3′ to the DNA sequence to be amplified relative to the coding strand.

Any DNA polymerase useful for PCR can be used in the methods disclosed herein. The reagents and polymerase are commercially available from a number of sources.

Chemical structures with the ability to promote stability and/or translation efficiency may also be used. The RNA in some embodiments has 5′ and 3′ UTRs. In one embodiment, the 5′ UTR is between one and 3000 nucleotides in length. The length of 5′ and 3′ UTR sequences to be added to the coding region can be altered by different methods, including, but not limited to, designing primers for PCR that anneal to different regions of the UTRs. Using this approach, one of ordinary skill in the art can modify the 5′ and 3′ UTR lengths required to achieve optimal translation efficiency following transfection of the transcribed RNA.

The 5′ and 3′ UTRs can be the naturally occurring, endogenous 5′ and 3′ UTRs for the nucleic acid of interest. Alternatively, UTR sequences that are not endogenous to the nucleic acid of interest can be added by incorporating the UTR sequences into the forward and reverse primers or by any other modifications of the template. The use of UTR sequences that are not endogenous to the nucleic acid of interest can be useful for modifying the stability and/or translation efficiency of the RNA. For example, it is known that AU-rich elements in 3′ UTR sequences can decrease the stability of mRNA. Therefore, 3′ UTRs can be selected or designed to increase the stability of the transcribed RNA based on properties of UTRs that are well known in the art.

In one embodiment, the 5′ UTR can contain the Kozak sequence of the endogenous nucleic acid. Alternatively, when a 5′ UTR that is not endogenous to the nucleic acid of interest is being added by PCR as described above, a consensus Kozak sequence can be redesigned by adding the 5′ UTR sequence. Kozak sequences can increase the efficiency of translation of some RNA transcripts, but does not appear to be required for all RNAs to enable efficient translation. The requirement for Kozak sequences for many mRNAs is known in the art. In other embodiments the 5′ UTR can be 5′UTR of an RNA virus whose RNA genome is stable in cells. In other embodiments various nucleotide analogues can be used in the 3′ or 5′ UTR to impede exonuclease degradation of the mRNA.

To enable synthesis of RNA from a DNA template without the need for gene cloning, a promoter of transcription should be attached to the DNA template upstream of the sequence to be transcribed. When a sequence that functions as a promoter for an RNA polymerase is added to the 5′ end of the forward primer, the RNA polymerase promoter becomes incorporated into the PCR product upstream of the open reading frame that is to be transcribed. In one embodiment, the promoter is a T7 polymerase promoter, as described elsewhere herein. Other useful promoters include, but are not limited to, T3 and SP6 RNA polymerase promoters. Consensus nucleotide sequences for T7, T3 and SP6 promoters are known in the art.

In an embodiment, the mRNA has both a cap on the 5′ end and a 3′ poly(A) tail which determine ribosome binding, initiation of translation and stability mRNA in the cell. On a circular DNA template, for instance, plasmid DNA, RNA polymerase produces a long concatameric product which is not suitable for expression in eukaryotic cells. The transcription of plasmid DNA linearized at the end of the 3′ UTR results in normal sized mRNA which is not effective in eukaryotic transfection even if it is polyadenylated after transcription.

On a linear DNA template, phage T7 RNA polymerase can extend the 3′ end of the transcript beyond the last base of the template (Schenborn and Mierendorf, Nuc Acids Res., 13:6223-36 (1985); Nacheva and Berzal-Herranz, Eur. J. Biochem., 270:1485-65 (2003).

The conventional method of integration of polyA/T stretches into a DNA template is molecular cloning. However polyA/T sequence integrated into plasmid DNA can cause plasmid instability, which is why plasmid DNA templates obtained from bacterial cells are often highly contaminated with deletions and other aberrations. This makes cloning procedures not only laborious and time consuming but often not reliable. That is why a method which allows construction of DNA templates with polyA/T 3′ stretch without cloning highly desirable.

The polyA/T segment of the transcriptional DNA template can be produced during PCR by using a reverse primer containing a polyT tail, such as 100T tail (SEQ ID NO: 29) (size can be 50-5000 T (SEQ ID NO: 30)), or after PCR by any other method, including, but not limited to, DNA ligation or in vitro recombination. Poly(A) tails also provide stability to RNAs and reduce their degradation. Generally, the length of a poly(A) tail positively correlates with the stability of the transcribed RNA. In one embodiment, the poly(A) tail is between 100 and 5000 adenosines (SEQ ID NO: 57).

Poly(A) tails of RNAs can be further extended following in vitro transcription with the use of a poly(A) polymerase, such as E. coli polyA polymerase (E-PAP). In one embodiment, increasing the length of a poly(A) tail from 100 nucleotides to between 300 and 400 nucleotides (SEQ ID NO: 104) results in about a two-fold increase in the translation efficiency of the RNA. Additionally, the attachment of different chemical groups to the 3′ end can increase mRNA stability. Such attachment can contain modified/artificial nucleotides, aptamers and other compounds. For example, ATP analogs can be incorporated into the poly(A) tail using poly(A) polymerase. ATP analogs can further increase the stability of the RNA. 5′ caps on also provide stability to RNA molecules. In an embodiment, RNAs produced by the methods disclosed herein include a 5′ cap. The 5′ cap is provided using techniques known in the art and described herein (Cougot, et al., Trends in Biochem. Sci., 29:436-444 (2001); Stepinski, et al., RNA, 7:1468-95 (2001); Elango, et al., Biochim. Biophys. Res. Commun., 330:958-966 (2005)).

The RNAs produced by the methods disclosed herein can also contain an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequence. The IRES sequence may be any viral, chromosomal or artificially designed sequence which initiates cap-independent ribosome binding to mRNA and facilitates the initiation of translation. Any solutes suitable for cell electroporation, which can contain factors facilitating cellular permeability and viability such as sugars, peptides, lipids, proteins, antioxidants, and surfactants can be included.

RNA can be introduced into target cells using any of a number of different methods, for instance, commercially available methods which include, but are not limited to, electroporation (Amaxa Nucleofector-II (Amaxa Biosystems, Cologne, Germany)), (ECM 830 (BTX) (Harvard Instruments, Boston, Mass.) or the Gene Pulser II (BioRad, Denver, Colo.), Multiporator (Eppendort, Hamburg Germany), cationic liposome mediated transfection using lipofection, polymer encapsulation, peptide mediated transfection, or biolistic particle delivery systems such as “gene guns” (see, for example, Nishikawa, et al. Hum Gene Ther., 12(8):861-70 (2001).

Non-Viral Delivery Methods

In some aspects, non-viral methods can be used to deliver a nucleic acid encoding a CAR described herein into a cell or tissue or a subject.

In some embodiments, the non-viral method includes the use of a transposon (also called a transposable element). In some embodiments, a transposon is a piece of DNA that can insert itself at a location in a genome, for example, a piece of DNA that is capable of self-replicating and inserting its copy into a genome, or a piece of DNA that can be spliced out of a longer nucleic acid and inserted into another place in a genome. For example, a transposon comprises a DNA sequence made up of inverted repeats flanking genes for transposition.

Exemplary methods of nucleic acid delivery using a transposon include a Sleeping Beauty transposon system (SBTS) and a piggyBac (PB) transposon system. See, e.g., Aronovich et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 20.R1 (2011):R14-20; Singh et al. Cancer Res. 15 (2008):2961-2971; Huang et al. Mol. Ther. 16 (2008):580-589; Grabundzija et al. Mol. Ther. 18 (2010):1200-1209; Kebriaei et al. Blood. 122.21 (2013):166; Williams. Molecular Therapy 16.9 (2008):1515-16; Bell et al. Nat. Protoc. 2.12 (2007):3153-65; and Ding et al. Cell. 122.3 (2005):473-83, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The SBTS includes two components: 1) a transposon containing a transgene and 2) a source of transposase enzyme. The transposase can transpose the transposon from a carrier plasmid (or other donor DNA) to a target DNA, such as a host cell chromosome/genome. For example, the transposase binds to the carrier plasmid/donor DNA, cuts the transposon (including transgene(s)) out of the plasmid, and inserts it into the genome of the host cell. See, e.g., Aronovich et al.

Exemplary transposons include a pT2-based transposon. See, e.g., Grabundzija et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 41.3 (2013):1829-47; and Singh et al. Cancer Res. 68.8 (2008): 2961-2971, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Exemplary transposases include a Tcl/mariner-type transposase, e.g., the SB10 transposase or the SB11 transposase (a hyperactive transposase which can be expressed, e.g., from a cytomegalovirus promoter). See, e.g., Aronovich et al.; Kebriaei et al.; and Grabundzija et al., all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Use of the SBTS permits efficient integration and expression of a transgene, e.g., a nucleic acid encoding a CAR described herein. Provided herein are methods of generating a cell, e.g., T cell or NK cell, that stably expresses a CAR described herein, e.g., using a transposon system such as SBTS.

In accordance with methods described herein, in some embodiments, one or more nucleic acids, e.g., plasmids, containing the SBTS components are delivered to a cell (e.g., T or NK cell). For example, the nucleic acid(s) are delivered by standard methods of nucleic acid (e.g., plasmid DNA) delivery, e.g., methods described herein, e.g., electroporation, transfection, or lipofection. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid contains a transposon comprising a transgene, e.g., a nucleic acid encoding a CAR described herein. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid contains a transposon comprising a transgene (e.g., a nucleic acid encoding a CAR described herein) as well as a nucleic acid sequence encoding a transposase enzyme. In other embodiments, a system with two nucleic acids is provided, e.g., a dual-plasmid system, e.g., where a first plasmid contains a transposon comprising a transgene, and a second plasmid contains a nucleic acid sequence encoding a transposase enzyme. For example, the first and the second nucleic acids are co-delivered into a host cell.

In some embodiments, cells, e.g., T or NK cells, are generated that express a CAR described herein by using a combination of gene insertion using the SBTS and genetic editing using a nuclease (e.g., Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), the CRISPR/Cas system, or engineered meganuclease re-engineered homing endonucleases).

In some embodiments, use of a non-viral method of delivery permits reprogramming of cells, e.g., T or NK cells, and direct infusion of the cells into a subject. Advantages of non-viral vectors include but are not limited to the ease and relatively low cost of producing sufficient amounts required to meet a patient population, stability during storage, and lack of immunogenicity.

Nucleic Acid Constructs Encoding a CAR, e.g., a CD19 CAR, CD20 CAR, or CD22 CAR

The present invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding one or more CAR constructs described herein, e.g., CD19 CAR, CD20 CAR, or CD22 CAR. In one aspect, the nucleic acid molecule is provided as a messenger RNA transcript. In one aspect, the nucleic acid molecule is provided as a DNA construct.

Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention pertains to an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), wherein the CAR comprises a binding domain (e.g., that binds CD19, CD20, or CD22) a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain comprising a stimulatory domain, e.g., a costimulatory signaling domain and/or a primary signaling domain, e.g., zeta chain.

In one embodiment, the binding domain is an anti-CD19 binding domain described herein, e.g., an anti-CD19 binding domain which comprises a sequence selected from a group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9, SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:12 and SEQ ID NO:59, or a sequence with 95-99% identity thereof.

In one embodiment, the nucleic acid comprises CD22-encoding a nucleic acid set out in Table 6A or a sequence with 95-99% identity thereof.

The nucleic acid sequences coding for the desired molecules can be obtained using recombinant methods known in the art, such as, for example by screening libraries from cells expressing the gene, by deriving the gene from a vector known to include the same, or by isolating directly from cells and tissues containing the same, using standard techniques. Alternatively, the gene of interest can be produced synthetically, rather than cloned.

The present invention also provides vectors in which a DNA of the present invention is inserted. Vectors derived from retroviruses such as the lentivirus are suitable tools to achieve long-term gene transfer since they allow long-term, stable integration of a transgene and its propagation in daughter cells. Lentiviral vectors have the added advantage over vectors derived from onco-retroviruses such as murine leukemia viruses in that they can transduce non-proliferating cells, such as hepatocytes. They also have the added advantage of low immunogenicity. A retroviral vector may also be, e.g., a gammaretroviral vector. A gammaretroviral vector may include, e.g., a promoter, a packaging signal (W), a primer binding site (PBS), one or more (e.g., two) long terminal repeats (LTR), and a transgene of interest, e.g., a gene encoding a CAR. A gammaretroviral vector may lack viral structural gens such as gag, pol, and env. Exemplary gammaretroviral vectors include Murine Leukemia Virus (MLV), Spleen-Focus Forming Virus (SFFV), and Myeloproliferative Sarcoma Virus (MPSV), and vectors derived therefrom. Other gammaretroviral vectors are described, e.g., in Tobias Maetzig et al., “Gammaretroviral Vectors: Biology, Technology and Application” Viruses. 2011 June; 3(6): 677-713.

In another embodiment, the vector comprising the nucleic acid encoding the desired CAR of the invention is an adenoviral vector (A5/35). In another embodiment, the expression of nucleic acids encoding CARs can be accomplished using of transposons such as sleeping beauty, crispr, CAS9, and zinc finger nucleases. See below June et al. 2009 Nature Reviews Immunology 9.10: 704-716, is incorporated herein by reference.

A vector may also include, e.g., a signal sequence to facilitate secretion, a polyadenylation signal and transcription terminator (e.g., from Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH) gene), an element allowing episomal replication and replication in prokaryotes (e.g. SV40 origin and ColE1 or others known in the art) and/or elements to allow selection (e.g., ampicillin resistance gene and/or zeocin marker).

In brief summary, the expression of natural or synthetic nucleic acids encoding CARs is typically achieved by operably linking a nucleic acid encoding the CAR polypeptide or portions thereof to a promoter, and incorporating the construct into an expression vector. The vectors can be suitable for replication and integration eukaryotes. Typical cloning vectors contain transcription and translation terminators, initiation sequences, and promoters useful for regulation of the expression of the desired nucleic acid sequence.

In some aspects, the expression constructs of the present invention may also be used for nucleic acid immunization and gene therapy, using standard gene delivery protocols. Methods for gene delivery are known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,399,346, 5,580,859, 5,589,466, incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. In another embodiment, the invention provides a gene therapy vector.

The nucleic acid can be cloned into a number of types of vectors. For example, the nucleic acid can be cloned into a vector including, but not limited to a plasmid, a phagemid, a phage derivative, an animal virus, and a cosmid. Vectors of particular interest include expression vectors, replication vectors, probe generation vectors, and sequencing vectors.

Further, the expression vector may be provided to a cell in the form of a viral vector. Viral vector technology is well known in the art and is described, for example, in Sambrook et al., 2012, MOLECULAR CLONING: A LABORATORY MANUAL, volumes 1-4, Cold Spring Harbor Press, NY), and in other virology and molecular biology manuals. Viruses, which are useful as vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses, and lentiviruses. In general, a suitable vector contains an origin of replication functional in at least one organism, a promoter sequence, convenient restriction endonuclease sites, and one or more selectable markers, (e.g., WO 01/96584; WO 01/29058; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,326,193).

A number of viral based systems have been developed for gene transfer into mammalian cells. For example, retroviruses provide a convenient platform for gene delivery systems. A selected gene can be inserted into a vector and packaged in retroviral particles using techniques known in the art. The recombinant virus can then be isolated and delivered to cells of the subject either in vivo or ex vivo. A number of retroviral systems are known in the art. In some embodiments, adenovirus vectors are used. A number of adenovirus vectors are known in the art. In one embodiment, lentivirus vectors are used.

Additional promoter elements, e.g., enhancers, regulate the frequency of transcriptional initiation. Typically, these are located in the region 30-110 bp upstream of the start site, although a number of promoters have been shown to contain functional elements downstream of the start site as well. The spacing between promoter elements frequently is flexible, so that promoter function is preserved when elements are inverted or moved relative to one another. In the thymidine kinase (tk) promoter, the spacing between promoter elements can be increased to 50 bp apart before activity begins to decline. Depending on the promoter, it appears that individual elements can function either cooperatively or independently to activate transcription. Exemplary promoters include the CMV IE gene, EF-1α, ubiquitin C, or phosphoglycerokinase (PGK) promoters. In an embodiment, the promoter is a PGK promoter, e.g., a truncated PGK promoter as described herein.

An example of a promoter that is capable of expressing a CAR transgene in a mammalian T cell is the EF1a promoter. The native EF1a promoter drives expression of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. The EF1a promoter has been extensively used in mammalian expression plasmids and has been shown to be effective in driving CAR expression from transgenes cloned into a lentiviral vector. See, e.g., Milone et al., Mol. Ther. 17(8): 1453-1464 (2009). In one aspect, the EF1a promoter comprises the sequence provided as SEQ ID NO:100.

Another example of a promoter is the immediate early cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter sequence. This promoter sequence is a strong constitutive promoter sequence capable of driving high levels of expression of any polynucleotide sequence operatively linked thereto. However, other constitutive promoter sequences may also be used, including, but not limited to the simian virus 40 (SV40) early promoter, mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter, MoMuLV promoter, an avian leukemia virus promoter, an Epstein-Barr virus immediate early promoter, a Rous sarcoma virus promoter, as well as human gene promoters such as, but not limited to, the actin promoter, the myosin promoter, the elongation factor-1α promoter, the hemoglobin promoter, and the creatine kinase promoter. Further, the invention should not be limited to the use of constitutive promoters. Inducible promoters are also contemplated as part of the invention. The use of an inducible promoter provides a molecular switch capable of turning on expression of the polynucleotide sequence which it is operatively linked when such expression is desired, or turning off the expression when expression is not desired. Examples of inducible promoters include, but are not limited to a metallothionine promoter, a glucocorticoid promoter, a progesterone promoter, and a tetracycline promoter.

Another example of a promoter is the phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter. In embodiments, a truncated PGK promoter (e.g., a PGK promoter with one or more, e.g., 1, 2, 5, 10, 100, 200, 300, or 400, nucleotide deletions when compared to the wild-type PGK promoter sequence) may be desired. The nucleotide sequences of exemplary PGK promoters are provided below.

A vector may also include, e.g., a signal sequence to facilitate secretion, a polyadenylation signal and transcription terminator (e.g., from Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH) gene), an element allowing episomal replication and replication in prokaryotes (e.g. SV40 origin and ColE1 or others known in the art) and/or elements to allow selection (e.g., ampicillin resistance gene and/or zeocin marker).

In order to assess the expression of a CAR polypeptide or portions thereof, the expression vector to be introduced into a cell can also contain either a selectable marker gene or a reporter gene or both to facilitate identification and selection of expressing cells from the population of cells sought to be transfected or infected through viral vectors. In other aspects, the selectable marker may be carried on a separate piece of DNA and used in a co-transfection procedure. Both selectable markers and reporter genes may be flanked with appropriate regulatory sequences to enable expression in the host cells. Useful selectable markers include, for example, antibiotic-resistance genes, such as neo and the like.

Reporter genes are used for identifying potentially transfected cells and for evaluating the functionality of regulatory sequences. In general, a reporter gene is a gene that is not present in or expressed by the recipient organism or tissue and that encodes a polypeptide whose expression is manifested by some easily detectable property, e.g., enzymatic activity. Expression of the reporter gene is assayed at a suitable time after the DNA has been introduced into the recipient cells. Suitable reporter genes may include genes encoding luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase, secreted alkaline phosphatase, or the green fluorescent protein gene (e.g., Ui-Tei et al., 2000 FEBS Letters 479: 79-82). Suitable expression systems are well known and may be prepared using known techniques or obtained commercially. In general, the construct with the minimal 5′ flanking region showing the highest level of expression of reporter gene is identified as the promoter. Such promoter regions may be linked to a reporter gene and used to evaluate agents for the ability to modulate promoter-driven transcription.

In embodiments, the vector may comprise two or more nucleic acid sequences encoding a CAR, e.g., a first CAR that binds to CD19 and a second CAR, e.g., an inhibitory CAR or a CAR that specifically binds to a second antigen, e.g., CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a. In such embodiments, the two or more nucleic acid sequences encoding the CAR are encoded by a single nucleic molecule in the same frame and as a single polypeptide chain. In this aspect, the two or more CARs, can, e.g., be separated by one or more peptide cleavage sites. (e.g., an auto-cleavage site or a substrate for an intracellular protease). Examples of peptide cleavage sites include the following, wherein the GSG residues are optional:

T2A: (SEQ ID NO: 1328) (GSG)EGRGSLLTCGDVEENPGP P2A: (SEQ ID NO: 1329) (GSG)ATNFSLLKQAGDVEENPGP E2A: (SEQ ID NO: 1330) (GSG)QCTNYALLKLAGDVESNPGP F2A: (SEQ ID NO: 1331) (GSG)VKQTLNFDLLKLAGDVESNPGP

Methods of introducing and expressing genes into a cell are known in the art. In the context of an expression vector, the vector can be readily introduced into a host cell, e.g., mammalian, bacterial, yeast, or insect cell by any method in the art. For example, the expression vector can be transferred into a host cell by physical, chemical, or biological means.

Physical methods for introducing a polynucleotide into a host cell include calcium phosphate precipitation, lipofection, particle bombardment, microinjection, electroporation, and the like. Methods for producing cells comprising vectors and/or exogenous nucleic acids are well-known in the art. See, for example, Sambrook et al., 2012, MOLECULAR CLONING: A LABORATORY MANUAL, volumes 1-4, Cold Spring Harbor Press, NY). A suitable method for the introduction of a polynucleotide into a host cell is calcium phosphate transfection

Biological methods for introducing a polynucleotide of interest into a host cell include the use of DNA and RNA vectors. Viral vectors, and especially retroviral vectors, have become the most widely used method for inserting genes into mammalian, e.g., human cells. Other viral vectors can be derived from lentivirus, poxviruses, herpes simplex virus I, adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses, and the like. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,350,674 and 5,585,362.

Chemical means for introducing a polynucleotide into a host cell include colloidal dispersion systems, such as macromolecule complexes, nanocapsules, microspheres, beads, and lipid-based systems including oil-in-water emulsions, micelles, mixed micelles, and liposomes. An exemplary colloidal system for use as a delivery vehicle in vitro and in vivo is a liposome (e.g., an artificial membrane vesicle). Other methods of state-of-the-art targeted delivery of nucleic acids are available, such as delivery of polynucleotides with targeted nanoparticles or other suitable sub-micron sized delivery system.

In the case where a non-viral delivery system is utilized, an exemplary delivery vehicle is a liposome. The use of lipid formulations is contemplated for the introduction of the nucleic acids into a host cell (in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo). In another aspect, the nucleic acid may be associated with a lipid. The nucleic acid associated with a lipid may be encapsulated in the aqueous interior of a liposome, interspersed within the lipid bilayer of a liposome, attached to a liposome via a linking molecule that is associated with both the liposome and the oligonucleotide, entrapped in a liposome, complexed with a liposome, dispersed in a solution containing a lipid, mixed with a lipid, combined with a lipid, contained as a suspension in a lipid, contained or complexed with a micelle, or otherwise associated with a lipid. Lipid, lipid/DNA or lipid/expression vector associated compositions are not limited to any particular structure in solution. For example, they may be present in a bilayer structure, as micelles, or with a “collapsed” structure. They may also simply be interspersed in a solution, possibly forming aggregates that are not uniform in size or shape. Lipids are fatty substances which may be naturally occurring or synthetic lipids. For example, lipids include the fatty droplets that naturally occur in the cytoplasm as well as the class of compounds which contain long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, such as fatty acids, alcohols, amines, amino alcohols, and aldehydes.

Lipids suitable for use can be obtained from commercial sources. For example, dimyristyl phosphatidylcholine (“DMPC”) can be obtained from Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.; dicetyl phosphate (“DCP”) can be obtained from K & K Laboratories (Plainview, N.Y.); cholesterol (“Choi”) can be obtained from Calbiochem-Behring; dimyristyl phosphatidylglycerol (“DMPG”) and other lipids may be obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc. (Birmingham, Ala.). Stock solutions of lipids in chloroform or chloroform/methanol can be stored at about −20° C. Chloroform is used as the only solvent since it is more readily evaporated than methanol. “Liposome” is a generic term encompassing a variety of single and multilamellar lipid vehicles formed by the generation of enclosed lipid bilayers or aggregates. Liposomes can be characterized as having vesicular structures with a phospholipid bilayer membrane and an inner aqueous medium. Multilamellar liposomes have multiple lipid layers separated by aqueous medium. They form spontaneously when phospholipids are suspended in an excess of aqueous solution. The lipid components undergo self-rearrangement before the formation of closed structures and entrap water and dissolved solutes between the lipid bilayers (Ghosh et al., 1991 Glycobiology 5: 505-10). However, compositions that have different structures in solution than the normal vesicular structure are also encompassed. For example, the lipids may assume a micellar structure or merely exist as nonuniform aggregates of lipid molecules. Also contemplated are lipofectamine-nucleic acid complexes.

Regardless of the method used to introduce exogenous nucleic acids into a host cell or otherwise expose a cell to the inhibitor of the present invention, in order to confirm the presence of the recombinant DNA sequence in the host cell, a variety of assays may be performed. Such assays include, for example, “molecular biological” assays well known to those of skill in the art, such as Southern and Northern blotting, RT-PCR and PCR; “biochemical” assays, such as detecting the presence or absence of a particular peptide, e.g., by immunological means (ELISAs and Western blots) or by assays described herein to identify agents falling within the scope of the invention.

The present invention further provides a vector comprising a CAR encoding nucleic acid molecule. In one aspect, a CAR vector can be directly transduced into a cell, e.g., a T cell. In one aspect, the vector is a cloning or expression vector, e.g., a vector including, but not limited to, one or more plasmids (e.g., expression plasmids, cloning vectors, minicircles, minivectors, double minute chromosomes), retroviral and lentiviral vector constructs. In one aspect, the vector is capable of expressing the CAR construct in mammalian T cells. In one aspect, the mammalian T cell is a human T cell.

Immune Effector Cells Expressing a CAR

In another aspect, the present invention provides a population of CAR-expressing cells. In some embodiments, the population of CAR-expressing cells comprises a cell that expresses one or more CARs described herein. In some embodiments, the population of CAR-expressing cells comprises a mixture of cells expressing different CARs.

For example, in one embodiment, the population of CART cells can include a first cell expressing a CAR having an antigen binding domain to a tumor antigen described herein, e.g., CD19, and a second cell expressing a CAR having a different antigen binding domain, e.g., an antigen binding domain to a different tumor antigen described herein, e.g., an antigen binding domain to a tumor antigen described herein that differs from the tumor antigen bound by the antigen binding domain of the CAR expressed by the first cell, e.g., CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a.

As another example, the population of CAR-expressing cells can include a first cell expressing a CAR that includes an antigen binding domain to a tumor antigen described herein, and a second cell expressing a CAR that includes an antigen binding domain to a target other than a tumor antigen as described herein. In one embodiment, the population of CAR-expressing cells includes, e.g., a first cell expressing a CAR that includes a primary intracellular signaling domain, and a second cell expressing a CAR that includes a secondary signaling domain. Either one or both of the CAR expressing cells can have a truncated PGK promoter, e.g., as described herein, operably linked to the nucleic acid encoding the CAR.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a population of cells wherein at least one cell in the population expresses a CAR having an antigen binding domain to a tumor antigen described herein, and a second cell expressing another agent, e.g., an agent which enhances the activity of a CAR-expressing cell. The CAR expressing cells of the population can have a truncated PGK promoter, e.g., as described herein, operably linked to the nucleic acid encoding the CAR. In one embodiment, the agent can be an agent which inhibits an inhibitory molecule. Inhibitory molecules, e.g., PD-1, can, in some embodiments, decrease the ability of a CAR-expressing cell to mount an immune effector response. Examples of inhibitory molecules include PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3, and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, and TGFR (e.g., TGFRbeta). In one embodiment, the agent which inhibits an inhibitory molecule comprises a first polypeptide, e.g., an inhibitory molecule, associated with a second polypeptide that provides a positive signal to the cell, e.g., an intracellular signaling domain described herein. In one embodiment, the agent comprises a first polypeptide, e.g., of an inhibitory molecule such as PD1, PD-L1, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3, and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4 or TGFR beta, or a fragment of any of these, and a second polypeptide which is an intracellular signaling domain described herein (e.g., comprising a costimulatory domain (e.g., 41BB, CD27, OX40 or CD28, e.g., as described herein) and/or a primary signaling domain (e.g., a CD3 zeta signaling domain described herein). In one embodiment, the agent comprises a first polypeptide of PD-1 or a fragment thereof, and a second polypeptide of an intracellular signaling domain described herein (e.g., a CD28 signaling domain described herein and/or a CD3 zeta signaling domain described herein).

Co-Expression of CAR with Other Molecules or Agents

Co-Expression of a Second CAR

In one aspect, the CAR-expressing cell described herein can further comprise a second CAR, e.g., a second CAR that includes a different antigen binding domain, e.g., to the same target (CD19) or a different target (e.g., CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a). In one embodiment, the second CAR includes an antigen binding domain to a target expressed on acute myeloid leukemia cells, such as, e.g., CD20, CD22, ROR1, CD10, CD33, CLL-1, CD34, CD123, FLT3, CD79b, CD179b, and CD79a. In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell comprises a first CAR that targets a first antigen and includes an intracellular signaling domain having a costimulatory signaling domain but not a primary signaling domain, and a second CAR that targets a second, different, antigen and includes an intracellular signaling domain having a primary signaling domain but not a costimulatory signaling domain. While not wishing to be bound by theory, placement of a costimulatory signaling domain, e.g., 4-1BB, CD28, CD27 or OX-40, onto the first CAR, and the primary signaling domain, e.g., CD3 zeta, on the second CAR can limit the CAR activity to cells where both targets are expressed. In one embodiment, the CAR expressing cell comprises a first CD19 CAR that includes a CD19 binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a costimulatory domain and a second CAR that targets an antigen other than CD19 (e.g., an antigen expressed on AML cells, e.g., CD22, CD20, ROR1, CD10, CD33, CLL-1, CD34, CD123, FLT3, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a) and includes an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a primary signaling domain. In another embodiment, the CAR expressing cell comprises a first CD19 CAR that includes a CD19 binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a primary signaling domain and a second CAR that targets an antigen other than CD19 (e.g., an antigen expressed on AML cells, e.g., CD22, CD20, ROR1, CD10, CD33, CD123, CLL-1, CD34, FLT3, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a) and includes an antigen binding domain to the antigen, a transmembrane domain and a costimulatory signaling domain.

In one aspect, the CAR-expressing cell described herein can further comprise a second CAR, e.g., a second CAR that includes a different antigen binding domain, e.g., to the same target (e.g., CD19) or a different target (e.g., a target other than CD19, e.g., CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a). In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell comprises a first CAR that targets a first antigen and includes an intracellular signaling domain having a costimulatory signaling domain but not a primary signaling domain, and a second CAR that targets a second, different, antigen and includes an intracellular signaling domain having a primary signaling domain but not a costimulatory signaling domain. Placement of a costimulatory signaling domain, e.g., 4-1BB, CD28, CD27, OX-40 or ICOS, onto the first CAR, and the primary signaling domain, e.g., CD3 zeta, on the second CAR can limit the CAR activity to cells where both targets are expressed. In one embodiment, the CAR expressing cell comprises a first CAR that includes an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a costimulatory domain and a second CAR that targets another antigen and includes an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a primary signaling domain. In another embodiment, the CAR expressing cell comprises a first CAR that includes an antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a primary signaling domain and a second CAR that targets another antigen and includes an antigen binding domain to the antigen, a transmembrane domain and a costimulatory signaling domain.

In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell comprises an XCAR described herein (e.g., CD19 CAR, CD20 CAR, or CD22 CAR) and an inhibitory CAR. In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell comprises a CD19 CAR described herein and an inhibitory CAR. In one embodiment, the inhibitory CAR comprises an antigen binding domain that binds an antigen found on normal cells but not cancer cells, e.g., normal cells that also express CD19. In one embodiment, the inhibitory CAR comprises the antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular domain of an inhibitory molecule. For example, the intracellular domain of the inhibitory CAR can be an intracellular domain PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3, and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, and TGFR (e.g., TGFRbeta).

In one embodiment, when the CAR-expressing cell comprises two or more different CARs, the antigen binding domains of the different CARs can be such that the antigen binding domains do not interact with one another. For example, a cell expressing a first and second CAR can have an antigen binding domain of the first CAR, e.g., as a fragment, e.g., an scFv, that does not form an association with the antigen binding domain of the second CAR, e.g., the antigen binding domain of the second CAR is a VHH.

Co-Expression of an Agent that Enhances CAR Activity

In another aspect, the CAR-expressing cell described herein can further express another agent, e.g., an agent that enhances the activity or fitness of a CAR-expressing cell.

For example, in one embodiment, the agent can be an agent which inhibits a molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T cell function. In some embodiments, the molecule that modulates or regulates T cell function is an inhibitory molecule. Inhibitory molecules, e.g., PD1, can, in some embodiments, decrease the ability of a CAR-expressing cell to mount an immune effector response. Examples of inhibitory molecules include PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, and TGFR (e.g., TGFR beta).

In one embodiment, an inhibitory nucleic acid, e.g., an inhibitory nucleic acid, e.g., a dsRNA, e.g., an siRNA or shRNA, a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), a transcription-activator like effector nuclease (TALEN), or a zinc finger endonuclease (ZFN), e.g., as described herein, can be used to inhibit expression of a molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function in the CAR-expressing cell. In an embodiment the agent is an shRNA, e.g., an shRNA described herein. In an embodiment, the agent that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is inhibited within a CAR-expressing cell. For example, a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of a molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is linked to the nucleic acid that encodes a component, e.g., all of the components, of the CAR.

In one embodiment, the agent which inhibits an inhibitory molecule comprises a first polypeptide, e.g., an inhibitory molecule, associated with a second polypeptide that provides a positive signal to the cell, e.g., an intracellular signaling domain described herein. In one embodiment, the agent comprises a first polypeptide, e.g., of an inhibitory molecule such as PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, or TGFR (e.g., TGFR beta), or a fragment of any of these (e.g., at least a portion of an extracellular domain of any of these), and a second polypeptide which is an intracellular signaling domain described herein (e.g., comprising a costimulatory domain (e.g., 41BB, CD27 or CD28, e.g., as described herein) and/or a primary signaling domain (e.g., a CD3 zeta signaling domain described herein). In one embodiment, the agent comprises a first polypeptide of PD1 or a fragment thereof (e.g., at least a portion of an extracellular domain of PD1), and a second polypeptide of an intracellular signaling domain described herein (e.g., a CD28 signaling domain described herein and/or a CD3 zeta signaling domain described herein). PD1 is an inhibitory member of the CD28 family of receptors that also includes CD28, CTLA-4, ICOS, and BTLA. PD-1 is expressed on activated B cells, T cells and myeloid cells (Agata et al. 1996 Int. Immunol 8:765-75). Two ligands for PD1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 have been shown to downregulate T cell activation upon binding to PD1 (Freeman et a. 2000 J Exp Med 192:1027-34; Latchman et al. 2001 Nat Immunol 2:261-8; Carter et al. 2002 Eur J Immunol 32:634-43). PD-L1 is abundant in human cancers (Dong et al. 2003 J Mol Med 81:281-7; Blank et al. 2005 Cancer Immunol. Immunother 54:307-314; Konishi et al. 2004 Clin Cancer Res 10:5094). Immune suppression can be reversed by inhibiting the local interaction of PD1 with PD-L1.

In one embodiment, the agent comprises the extracellular domain (ECD) of an inhibitory molecule, e.g., Programmed Death 1 (PD1), can be fused to a transmembrane domain and intracellular signaling domains such as 41BB and CD3 zeta (also referred to herein as a PD1 CAR). In one embodiment, the PD1 CAR, when used in combinations with a CD19 CAR described herein, improves the persistence of the T cell. In one embodiment, the CAR is a PD1 CAR comprising the extracellular domain of PD1 indicated as underlined in SEQ ID NO: 121. In one embodiment, the PD1 CAR comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:121.

In another example, in one embodiment, the agent which enhances the activity of a CAR-expressing cell can be a costimulatory molecule or costimulatory molecule ligand. Examples of costimulatory molecules include MHC class I molecule, BTLA and a Toll ligand receptor, as well as OX40, CD27, CD28, CDS, ICAM-1, LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), ICOS (CD278), and 4-1BB (CD137). Further examples of such costimulatory molecules include CDS, ICAM-1, GITR, BAFFR, HVEM (LIGHTR), SLAMF7, NKp80 (KLRF1), NKp44, NKp30, NKp46, CD160, CD19, CD4, CD8alpha, CD8beta, IL2R beta, IL2R gamma, IL7R alpha, ITGA4, VLA1, CD49a, ITGA4, IA4, CD49D, ITGA6, VLA-6, CD49f, ITGAD, CD11d, ITGAE, CD103, ITGAL, CD11a, LFA-1, ITGAM, CD11b, ITGAX, CD11c, ITGB1, CD29, ITGB2, CD18, LFA-1, ITGB7, NKG2D, NKG2C, TNFR2, TRANCE/RANKL, DNAM1 (CD226), SLAMF4 (CD244, 2B4), CD84, CD96 (Tactile), CEACAM1, CRTAM, Ly9 (CD229), CD160 (BY55), PSGL1, CD100 (SEMA4D), CD69, SLAMF6 (NTB-A, Ly108), SLAM (SLAMF1, CD150, IPO-3), BLAME (SLAMF8), SELPLG (CD162), LTBR, LAT, GADS, SLP-76, PAG/Cbp, CD19a, and a ligand that specifically binds with CD83, e.g., as described herein. Examples of costimulatory molecule ligands include CD80, CD86, CD40L, ICOSL, CD70, OX40L, 4-1BBL, GITRL, and LIGHT. In embodiments, the costimulatory molecule ligand is a ligand for a costimulatory molecule different from the costimulatory molecule domain of the CAR. In embodiments, the costimulatory molecule ligand is a ligand for a costimulatory molecule that is the same as the costimulatory molecule domain of the CAR. In an embodiment, the costimulatory molecule ligand is 4-1BBL. In an embodiment, the costimulatory ligand is CD80 or CD86. In an embodiment, the costimulatory molecule ligand is CD70. In embodiments, a CAR-expressing immune effector cell described herein can be further engineered to express one or more additional costimulatory molecules or costimulatory molecule ligands.

Co-Expression of CAR with a Chemokine Receptor

In embodiments, the CAR-expressing cell described herein further comprises a chemokine receptor molecule. Transgenic expression of chemokine receptors CCR2b or CXCR2 in T cells enhances trafficking to CCL2- or CXCL1-secreting solid tumors including melanoma and neuroblastoma (Craddock et al., J Immunother. 2010 October; 33(8):780-8 and Kershaw et al., Hum Gene Ther. 2002 Nov. 1; 13(16):1971-80). Thus, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that chemokine receptors expressed in CAR-expressing cells that recognize chemokines secreted by tumors, e.g., solid tumors, can improve homing of the CAR-expressing cell to the tumor, facilitate the infiltration of the CAR-expressing cell to the tumor, and enhances antitumor efficacy of the CAR-expressing cell. The chemokine receptor molecule can comprise a naturally occurring or recombinant chemokine receptor or a chemokine-binding fragment thereof. A chemokine receptor molecule suitable for expression in a CAR-expressing cell described herein include a CXC chemokine receptor (e.g., CXCR1, CXCR2, CXCR3, CXCR4, CXCR5, CXCR6, or CXCR7), a CC chemokine receptor (e.g., CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, CCR6, CCR7, CCR8, CCR9, CCR10, or CCR11), a CX3C chemokine receptor (e.g., CX3CR1), a XC chemokine receptor (e.g., XCR1), or a chemokine-binding fragment thereof. In one embodiment, the chemokine receptor molecule to be expressed with a CAR described herein is selected based on the chemokine(s) secreted by the tumor. In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell described herein further comprises, e.g., expresses, a CCR2b receptor or a CXCR2 receptor. In an embodiment, the CAR described herein and the chemokine receptor molecule are on the same vector or are on two different vectors. In embodiments where the CAR described herein and the chemokine receptor molecule are on the same vector, the CAR and the chemokine receptor molecule are each under control of two different promoters or are under the control of the same promoter.

Conditional Expression of Immune Response-Enhancing Agents

Also provided herein are compositions and methods for conditionally expressing an agent that enhances the immune response or activity of a CAR-expressing cell described herein.

In one aspect, the present disclosure features an immune effector cell that is engineered to constitutively express a CAR, also referred to herein as a nonconditional CAR. In one embodiment, a nonconditional CAR as described herein comprises an antigen binding domain that binds to a cancer associated antigen, e.g., CD19, CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1. In embodiments, the nonconditional CAR-expressing immune effector cell further comprises a conditionally-expressed agent that enhances the therapeutic efficacy, e.g., the immune response, of the CAR-expressing immune effector cell. In such embodiments, the expression of the conditionally expressed agent occurs upon activation of the nonconditional CAR-expressing immune effector cell, e.g., upon binding of the nonconditional CAR molecule to its target, e.g., a cancer associated antigen, e.g., CD19, CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1.

Immune response-enhancing agents as described herein can be characterized by one or more of the following: 1) targets or binds to a different cancer associated antigen than that targeted by the nonconditional CAR; 2) inhibits the expression or activity of an immune checkpoint or inhibitory molecule; and/or 3) activates the expression and/or secretion of a component that enhances immune response or activation of an immune effector cell. The immune response-enhancing agent can be a polypeptide or a nucleic acid, e.g., a nucleic acid that encodes a polypeptide that enhances immune response. Examples of conditionally expressed agents that enhance the immune response include, but are not limited to, an additional CAR (referred to as a conditional CAR); a TCR-based molecule (e.g., a TCR-CAR); an inhibitor of an immune checkpoint or an inhibitory molecule; and/or a cytokine. In embodiments, the conditional CAR binds to a different cancer associated antigen than that targeted by the nonconditional CAR. In embodiments, the inhibitor of an immune checkpoint or inhibitory molecule described herein is an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, an inhibitory nucleic acid (e.g., an siRNA or shRNA), or a small molecule that inhibits or decreases the activity of an immune checkpoint or inhibitory molecule selected from PD1, PD-L1, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, or TGFR beta. In embodiments, the cytokine comprises IL-2, IL-7, IL-15, or IL-21, or functional fragments or derivatives thereof.

In embodiments, the immune effector cell comprises a nonconditional CAR and one or more conditional CARs, where the conditional CAR binds to a different cancer associated antigen than that targeted by the nonconditional CAR. By way of example, in one embodiment, an immune effector cell comprises a nonconditional CAR that binds to CD19 and one or more conditional CARs that bind to CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1, or a combination thereof. In another embodiment, an immune effector cell comprises a nonconditional CAR that binds to CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 and a conditional CAR that binds to CD19.

Conditional expression of the agent that enhances the immune response upon activation of the CAR-expressing immune effector cell is achieved by operatively linking an activation-conditional control region to the agent that enhances the immune response (e.g., to a nucleic acid sequence encoding such an agent). In one embodiment, the activation conditional control region comprises a promoter sequence that initiates expression, e.g., transcription, of the operatively linked immune response enhancing agent upon activation of the immune effector cell. In one embodiment, the activation conditional control region comprises one or more regulatory sequences (e.g., a transcription factor binding sequence or site) that facilitate the initiation of expression upon activation of the immune effector cell. In embodiments, the activation-conditional control region comprises a promoter sequence and/or one or more transcription factor binding sequences from a promoter or regulatory sequence of a gene that is upregulated upon one or more of the following: immune effector cell (e.g., T cell) activation, T-cell differentiation, T-cell polarization, or helper T cell development. Examples of such genes include, but are not limited to, NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells), ATF2 (activating transcription factor 2), NF-κB (nuclear factor-KB), IL-2, IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), IL-3, GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-γ.

In one embodiment, the activation-conditional control region comprises one or more, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or more, NFAT binding sequences or sites. In embodiments, the NFAT-binding sequence in the promoter comprises (5′-GGAAA-3′) (SEQ ID NO: 1312), optionally situated in a longer consensus sequence of 5′ (A/T)GGAAA(A/N)(A/T/C)N 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 1313). In embodiments, the NFAT-binding sequence is a κb-like sequence such as GGGACT (SEQ ID NO: 1314). (See, Gibson et al., The Journal of Immunology, 2007, 179: 3831-3840.) In one embodiment, the activation-conditional control region further comprises an IL-2 promoter (or a minimal IL-2 promoter), an IL-2R promoter, an ATF2 promoter, or a NF-κB promoter, or any functional fragment or derivative thereof. In one embodiment, the activation-conditional control region comprises one or more NFAT-binding sequences, e.g., 3 or 6 NFAT-binding sequences, and an IL-2 promoter, e.g., an IL-2 minimal promoter. In one embodiment, the activation-conditional control region comprises the sequence of

Prior to expansion and genetic modification or other modification, a source of cells, e.g., T cells or natural killer (NK) cells, can be obtained from a subject. Examples of subjects include humans, monkeys, chimpanzees, dogs, cats, mice, rats, and transgenic species thereof. T cells can be obtained from a number of sources, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells, bone marrow, lymph node tissue, cord blood, thymus tissue, tissue from a site of infection, ascites, pleural effusion, spleen tissue, and tumors.

In certain aspects of the present disclosure, immune effector cells, e.g., T cells, can be obtained from a unit of blood collected from a subject using any number of techniques known to the skilled artisan, such as Ficoll™ separation. In one aspect, cells from the circulating blood of an individual are obtained by apheresis. The apheresis product typically contains lymphocytes, including T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, B cells, other nucleated white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. In one aspect, the cells collected by apheresis may be washed to remove the plasma fraction and, optionally, to place the cells in an appropriate buffer or media for subsequent processing steps. In one embodiment, the cells are washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In an alternative embodiment, the wash solution lacks calcium and may lack magnesium or may lack many if not all divalent cations.

Initial activation steps in the absence of calcium can lead to magnified activation. As those of ordinary skill in the art would readily appreciate a washing step may be accomplished by methods known to those in the art, such as by using a semi-automated “flow-through” centrifuge (for example, the Cobe 2991 cell processor, the Baxter CytoMate, or the Haemonetics Cell Saver 5) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After washing, the cells may be resuspended in a variety of biocompatible buffers, such as, for example, Ca-free, Mg-free PBS, PlasmaLyte A, or other saline solution with or without buffer. Alternatively, the undesirable components of the apheresis sample may be removed and the cells directly resuspended in culture media.

It is recognized that the methods of the application can utilize culture media conditions comprising 5% or less, for example 2%, human AB serum, and employ known culture media conditions and compositions, for example those described in Smith et al., “Ex vivo expansion of human T cells for adoptive immunotherapy using the novel Xeno-free CTS Immune Cell Serum Replacement” Clinical & Translational Immunology (2015) 4, e31; doi: 10.1038/cti.2014.31.

In one aspect, T cells are isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes by lysing the red blood cells and depleting the monocytes, for example, by centrifugation through a PERCOLL™ gradient or by counterflow centrifugal elutriation.

The methods described herein can include, e.g., selection of a specific subpopulation of immune effector cells, e.g., T cells, that are a T regulatory cell-depleted population, CD25+ depleted cells, using, e.g., a negative selection technique, e.g., described herein. In some embodiments, the population of T regulatory depleted cells contains less than 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% of CD25+ cells.

In one embodiment, T regulatory cells, e.g., CD25+ T cells, are removed from the population using an anti-CD25 antibody, or fragment thereof, or a CD25-binding ligand, IL-2. In one embodiment, the anti-CD25 antibody, or fragment thereof, or CD25-binding ligand is conjugated to a substrate, e.g., a bead, or is otherwise coated on a substrate, e.g., a bead. In one embodiment, the anti-CD25 antibody, or fragment thereof, is conjugated to a substrate as described herein.

In one embodiment, the T regulatory cells, e.g., CD25+ T cells, are removed from the population using CD25 depletion reagent from Miltenyi™. In one embodiment, the ratio of cells to CD25 depletion reagent is 1e7 cells to 20 uL, or 1e7 cells to 15 uL, or 1e7 cells to 10 uL, or 1e7 cells to 5 uL, or 1e7 cells to 2.5 uL, or 1e7 cells to 1.25 uL. In one embodiment, e.g., for T regulatory cells, e.g., CD25+ depletion, greater than 500 million cells/ml is used. In a further aspect, a concentration of cells of 600, 700, 800, or 900 million cells/ml is used.

In one embodiment, the population of immune effector cells to be depleted includes about 6×10⁹ CD25+ T cells. In other aspects, the population of immune effector cells to be depleted include about 1×10⁹ to 1×10¹⁰ CD25+ T cell, and any integer value in between. In one embodiment, the resulting population T regulatory depleted cells has 2×10⁹ T regulatory cells, e.g., CD25+ cells, or less (e.g., 1×10⁹, 5×10⁸, 1×10⁸, 5×10⁷, 1×10⁷, or less CD25+ cells).

In one embodiment, the T regulatory cells, e.g., CD25+ cells, are removed from the population using the CliniMAC system with a depletion tubing set, such as, e.g., tubing 162-01. In one embodiment, the CliniMAC system is run on a depletion setting such as, e.g., DEPLETION2.1.

Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, decreasing the level of negative regulators of immune cells (e.g., decreasing the number of unwanted immune cells, e.g., T_(REG) cells), in a subject prior to apheresis or during manufacturing of a CAR-expressing cell product significantly reduces the risk of subject relapse. For example, methods of depleting T_(REG) cells are known in the art. Methods of decreasing T_(REG) cells include, but are not limited to, cyclophosphamide, anti-GITR antibody (an anti-GITR antibody described herein), CD25-depletion, mTOR inhibitor, and combinations thereof.

In some embodiments, the manufacturing methods comprise reducing the number of (e.g., depleting) T_(REG) cells prior to manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell. For example, manufacturing methods comprise contacting the sample, e.g., the apheresis sample, with an anti-GITR antibody and/or an anti-CD25 antibody (or fragment thereof, or a CD25-binding ligand), e.g., to deplete T_(REG) cells prior to manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell (e.g., T cell, NK cell) product.

Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, decreasing the level of negative regulators of immune cells (e.g., decreasing the number of unwanted immune cells, e.g., T_(REG) cells), in a subject prior to apheresis or during manufacturing of a CAR-expressing cell product can reduce the risk of a T_(REG) relapse. In an embodiment, a subject is pre-treated with one or more therapies that reduce TREG cells prior to collection of cells for CAR-expressing cell product manufacturing, thereby reducing the risk of subject relapse to CAR-expressing cell treatment. In an embodiment, methods of decreasing T_(REG) cells include, but are not limited to, administration to the subject of one or more of cyclophosphamide, anti-GITR antibody, CD25-depletion, or a combination thereof. In an embodiment, methods of decreasing T_(REG) cells include, but are not limited to, administration to the subject of one or more of cyclophosphamide, anti-GITR antibody, CD25-depletion, mTOR inhibitor, or a combination thereof. Administration of one or more of cyclophosphamide, anti-GITR antibody, CD25-depletion, or a combination thereof, can occur before, during or after an infusion of the CAR-expressing cell product. Administration of one or more of cyclophosphamide, anti-GITR antibody, CD25-depletion, mTOR inhibitor, or a combination thereof, can occur before, during or after an infusion of the CAR-expressing cell product.

In some embodiments, the manufacturing methods comprise reducing the number of (e.g., depleting) T_(REG) cells prior to manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell.

In an embodiment, a subject is pre-treated with cyclophosphamide prior to collection of cells for CAR-expressing cell product manufacturing, thereby reducing the risk of subject relapse to CAR-expressing cell treatment. In an embodiment, a subject is pre-treated with an anti-GITR antibody prior to collection of cells for CAR-expressing cell product manufacturing, thereby reducing the risk of subject relapse to CAR-expressing cell treatment.

In one embodiment, the population of cells to be removed are neither the regulatory T cells or tumor cells, but cells that otherwise negatively affect the expansion and/or function of CART cells, e.g. cells expressing CD14, CD11b, CD33, CD15, or other markers expressed by potentially immune suppressive cells. In one embodiment, such cells are envisioned to be removed concurrently with regulatory T cells and/or tumor cells, or following said depletion, or in another order.

The methods described herein can include more than one selection step, e.g., more than one depletion step. Enrichment of a T cell population by negative selection can be accomplished, e.g., with a combination of antibodies directed to surface markers unique to the negatively selected cells. One method is cell sorting and/or selection via negative magnetic immunoadherence or flow cytometry that uses a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies directed to cell surface markers present on the cells negatively selected. For example, to enrich for CD4+ cells by negative selection, a monoclonal antibody cocktail can include antibodies to CD14, CD20, CD11b, CD16, HLA-DR, and CD8.

The methods described herein can further include removing cells from the population which express a tumor antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen that does not comprise CD25, e.g., CD19, CD30, CD38, CD123, CD20, CD14 or CD1 b, to thereby provide a population of T regulatory depleted, e.g., CD25+ depleted, and tumor antigen depleted cells that are suitable for expression of a CAR, e.g., a CAR described herein. In one embodiment, tumor antigen expressing cells are removed simultaneously with the T regulatory, e.g., CD25+ cells. For example, an anti-CD25 antibody, or fragment thereof, and an anti-tumor antigen antibody, or fragment thereof, can be attached to the same substrate, e.g., bead, which can be used to remove the cells or an anti-CD25 antibody, or fragment thereof, or the anti-tumor antigen antibody, or fragment thereof, can be attached to separate beads, a mixture of which can be used to remove the cells. In other embodiments, the removal of T regulatory cells, e.g., CD25+ cells, and the removal of the tumor antigen expressing cells is sequential, and can occur, e.g., in either order.

Also provided are methods that include removing cells from the population which express a check point inhibitor, e.g., a check point inhibitor described herein, e.g., one or more of PD1+ cells, LAG3+ cells, and TIM3+ cells, to thereby provide a population of T regulatory depleted, e.g., CD25+ depleted cells, and check point inhibitor depleted cells, e.g., PD1+, LAG3+ and/or TIM3+ depleted cells. Exemplary check point inhibitors include PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, and TGFR (e.g., TGFRbeta), e.g., as described herein. In one embodiment, check point inhibitor expressing cells are removed simultaneously with the T regulatory, e.g., CD25+ cells. For example, an anti-CD25 antibody, or fragment thereof, and an anti-check point inhibitor antibody, or fragment thereof, can be attached to the same bead which can be used to remove the cells, or an anti-CD25 antibody, or fragment thereof, and the anti-check point inhibitor antibody, or fragment thereof, can be attached to separate beads, a mixture of which can be used to remove the cells. In other embodiments, the removal of T regulatory cells, e.g., CD25+ cells, and the removal of the check point inhibitor expressing cells is sequential, and can occur, e.g., in either order.

Methods described herein can include a positive selection step For example, T cells can be isolated by incubation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 (e.g., 3×28)-conjugated beads, such as DYNABEADS® M-450 CD3/CD28 T, for a time period sufficient for positive selection of the desired T cells. In one aspect, the time period is about 30 minutes. In a further aspect, the time period ranges from 30 minutes to 36 hours or longer and all integer values there between. In a further aspect, the time period is at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours. In yet another aspect, the time period is 10 to 24 hours. In one aspect, the incubation time period is 24 hours. Longer incubation times may be used to isolate T cells in any situation where there are few T cells as compared to other cell types, such in isolating tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) from tumor tissue or from immunocompromised individuals. Further, use of longer incubation times can increase the efficiency of capture of CD8+ T cells. Thus, by simply shortening or lengthening the time T cells are allowed to bind to the CD3/CD28 beads and/or by increasing or decreasing the ratio of beads to T cells (as described further herein), subpopulations of T cells can be preferentially selected for or against at culture initiation or at other time points during the process. Additionally, by increasing or decreasing the ratio of anti-CD3 and/or anti-CD28 antibodies on the beads or other surface, subpopulations of T cells can be preferentially selected for or against at culture initiation or at other desired time points.

In one embodiment, a T cell population can be selected that expresses one or more of IFN-γ, TNFα, IL-17A, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, GM-CSF, IL-10, IL-13, granzyme B, and perforin, or other appropriate molecules, e.g., other cytokines. Methods for screening for cell expression can be determined, e.g., by the methods described in PCT Publication No.: WO 2013/126712.

For isolation of a desired population of cells by positive or negative selection, the concentration of cells and surface (e.g., particles such as beads) can be varied. In certain aspects, it may be desirable to significantly decrease the volume in which beads and cells are mixed together (e.g., increase the concentration of cells), to ensure maximum contact of cells and beads. For example, in one aspect, a concentration of about 10 billion cells/ml, 9 billion/ml, 8 billion/ml, 7 billion/ml, 6 billion/ml, or 5 billion/ml is used. In one aspect, a concentration of 1 billion cells/ml is used. In one aspect, a concentration of cells from 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 million cells/ml is used. In further aspects, concentrations of 125 or 150 million cells/ml can be used.

Using high concentrations can result in increased cell yield, cell activation, and cell expansion. Further, use of high cell concentrations allows more efficient capture of cells that may weakly express target antigens of interest, such as CD28-negative T cells, or from samples where there are many tumor cells present (e.g., leukemic blood, tumor tissue, etc.). Such populations of cells may have therapeutic value and would be desirable to obtain. For example, using high concentration of cells allows more efficient selection of CD8+ T cells that normally have weaker CD28 expression.

In a related aspect, it may be desirable to use lower concentrations of cells. By significantly diluting the mixture of T cells and surface (e.g., particles such as beads), interactions between the particles and cells is minimized. This selects for cells that express high amounts of desired antigens to be bound to the particles. For example, CD4+ T cells express higher levels of CD28 and are more efficiently captured than CD8+ T cells in dilute concentrations. In one aspect, the concentration of cells used is 5×10⁶/ml. In other aspects, the concentration used can be from about 1×10⁵/ml to 1×10⁶/ml, and any integer value in between.

In other aspects, the cells may be incubated on a rotator for varying lengths of time at varying speeds at either 2-10° C. or at room temperature.

T cells for stimulation can also be frozen after a washing step. Wishing not to be bound by theory, the freeze and subsequent thaw step provides a more uniform product by removing granulocytes and to some extent monocytes in the cell population. After the washing step that removes plasma and platelets, the cells may be suspended in a freezing solution. While many freezing solutions and parameters are known in the art and will be useful in this context, one method involves using PBS containing 20% DMSO and 8% human serum albumin, or culture media containing 10% Dextran 40 and 5% Dextrose, 20% Human Serum Albumin and 7.5% DMSO, or 31.25% Plasmalyte-A, 31.25% Dextrose 5%, 0.45% NaCl, 10% Dextran 40 and 5% Dextrose, 20% Human Serum Albumin, and 7.5% DMSO or other suitable cell freezing media containing for example, Hespan and PlasmaLyte A, the cells then are frozen to −80° C. at a rate of 10° per minute and stored in the vapor phase of a liquid nitrogen storage tank. Other methods of controlled freezing may be used as well as uncontrolled freezing immediately at −20° C. or in liquid nitrogen.

In certain aspects, cryopreserved cells are thawed and washed as described herein and allowed to rest for one hour at room temperature prior to activation using the methods of the present invention.

Also contemplated in the context of the invention is the collection of blood samples or apheresis product from a subject at a time period prior to when the expanded cells as described herein might be needed. As such, the source of the cells to be expanded can be collected at any time point necessary, and desired cells, such as T cells, isolated and frozen for later use in immune effector cell therapy for any number of diseases or conditions that would benefit from immune effector cell therapy, such as those described herein. In one aspect a blood sample or an apheresis is taken from a generally healthy subject. In certain aspects, a blood sample or an apheresis is taken from a generally healthy subject who is at risk of developing a disease, but who has not yet developed a disease, and the cells of interest are isolated and frozen for later use. In certain aspects, the T cells may be expanded, frozen, and used at a later time. In certain aspects, samples are collected from a patient shortly after diagnosis of a particular disease as described herein but prior to any treatments. In a further aspect, the cells are isolated from a blood sample or an apheresis from a subject prior to any number of relevant treatment modalities, including but not limited to treatment with agents such as natalizumab, efalizumab, antiviral agents, chemotherapy, radiation, immunosuppressive agents, such as cyclosporin, azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, and FK506, antibodies, or other immunoablative agents such as CAMPATH, anti-CD3 antibodies, cytoxan, fludarabine, cyclosporin, FK506, rapamycin, mycophenolic acid, steroids, FR901228, and irradiation.

In a further aspect of the present invention, T cells are obtained from a patient directly following treatment that leaves the subject with functional T cells. In this regard, it has been observed that following certain cancer treatments, in particular treatments with drugs that damage the immune system, shortly after treatment during the period when patients would normally be recovering from the treatment, the quality of T cells obtained may be optimal or improved for their ability to expand ex vivo. Likewise, following ex vivo manipulation using the methods described herein, these cells may be in a preferred state for enhanced engraftment and in vivo expansion. Thus, it is contemplated within the context of the present invention to collect blood cells, including T cells, dendritic cells, or other cells of the hematopoietic lineage, during this recovery phase. Further, in certain aspects, mobilization (for example, mobilization with GM-CSF) and conditioning regimens can be used to create a condition in a subject wherein repopulation, recirculation, regeneration, and/or expansion of particular cell types is favored, especially during a defined window of time following therapy. Illustrative cell types include T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and other cells of the immune system.

In one embodiment, the immune effector cells expressing a CAR molecule, e.g., a CAR molecule described herein, are obtained from a subject that has received a low, immune enhancing dose of an mTOR inhibitor. In an embodiment, the population of immune effector cells, e.g., T cells, to be engineered to express a CAR, are harvested after a sufficient time, or after sufficient dosing of the low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor, such that the level of PD1 negative immune effector cells, e.g., T cells, or the ratio of PD1 negative immune effector cells, e.g., T cells/PD1 positive immune effector cells, e.g., T cells, in the subject or harvested from the subject has been, at least transiently, increased.

In other embodiments, population of immune effector cells, e.g., T cells, which have, or will be engineered to express a CAR, can be treated ex vivo by contact with an amount of an mTOR inhibitor that increases the number of PD1 negative immune effector cells, e.g., T cells or increases the ratio of PD1 negative immune effector cells, e.g., T cells/PD1 positive immune effector cells, e.g., T cells.

In one embodiment, a T cell population is diacylglycerol kinase (DGK)-deficient. DGK-deficient cells include cells that do not express DGK RNA or protein, or have reduced or inhibited DGK activity. DGK-deficient cells can be generated by genetic approaches, e.g., administering RNA-interfering agents, e.g., siRNA, shRNA, miRNA, to reduce or prevent DGK expression. Alternatively, DGK-deficient cells can be generated by treatment with DGK inhibitors described herein.

In one embodiment, a T cell population is Ikaros-deficient. Ikaros-deficient cells include cells that do not express Ikaros RNA or protein, or have reduced or inhibited Ikaros activity, Ikaros-deficient cells can be generated by genetic approaches, e.g., administering RNA-interfering agents, e.g., siRNA, shRNA, miRNA, to reduce or prevent Ikaros expression. Alternatively, Ikaros-deficient cells can be generated by treatment with Ikaros inhibitors, e.g., lenalidomide.

In embodiments, a T cell population is DGK-deficient and Ikaros-deficient, e.g., does not express DGK and Ikaros, or has reduced or inhibited DGK and Ikaros activity. Such DGK and Ikaros-deficient cells can be generated by any of the methods described herein.

In an embodiment, the NK cells are obtained from the subject. In another embodiment, the NK cells are an NK cell line, e.g., NK-92 cell line (Conkwest).

Allogeneic CAR

In embodiments described herein, the immune effector cell can be an allogeneic immune effector cell, e.g., T cell or NK cell. For example, the cell can be an allogeneic T cell, e.g., an allogeneic T cell lacking expression of a functional T cell receptor (TCR) and/or human leukocyte antigen (HLA), e.g., HLA class I and/or HLA class II.

A T cell lacking a functional TCR can be, e.g., engineered such that it does not express any functional TCR on its surface, engineered such that it does not express one or more subunits that comprise a functional TCR (e.g., engineered such that it does not express (or exhibits reduced expression) of TCR alpha, TCR beta, TCR gamma, TCR delta, TCR epsilon, and/or TCR zeta) or engineered such that it produces very little functional TCR on its surface (e.g., engineered such that it does not express (or exhibits reduced expression) of TCR alpha, TCR beta, TCR gamma, TCR delta, TCR epsilon, and/or TCR zeta). Alternatively, the T cell can express a substantially impaired TCR, e.g., by expression of mutated or truncated forms of one or more of the subunits of the TCR. The term “substantially impaired TCR” means that this TCR will not elicit an adverse immune reaction in a host.

A T cell described herein can be, e.g., engineered such that it does not express a functional HLA on its surface. For example, a T cell described herein, can be engineered such that cell surface expression HLA, e.g., HLA class 1 and/or HLA class II, is downregulated. In some embodiments, downregulation of HLA may be accomplished by reducing or eliminating expression of beta-2 microglobulin (B2M).

In some embodiments, the T cell can lack a functional TCR and a functional HLA, e.g., HLA class I and/or HLA class II.

Modified T cells that lack expression of a functional TCR and/or HLA can be obtained by any suitable means, including a knock out or knock down of one or more subunit of TCR or HLA. For example, the T cell can include a knock down of TCR and/or HLA using siRNA, shRNA, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) transcription-activator like effector nuclease (TALEN), or zinc finger endonuclease (ZFN).

In some embodiments, the allogeneic cell can be a cell which does not express or expresses at low levels an inhibitory molecule, e.g. a cell engineered by any method described herein. For example, the cell can be a cell that does not express or expresses at low levels an inhibitory molecule, e.g., that can decrease the ability of a CAR-expressing cell to mount an immune effector response. Examples of inhibitory molecules include PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, and TGFR (e.g., TGFR beta). Inhibition of an inhibitory molecule, e.g., by inhibition at the DNA, RNA or protein level, can optimize a CAR-expressing cell performance. In embodiments, an inhibitory nucleic acid, e.g., an inhibitory nucleic acid, e.g., a dsRNA, e.g., an siRNA or shRNA, a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), a transcription-activator like effector nuclease (TALEN), or a zinc finger endonuclease (ZFN), e.g., as described herein, can be used.

siRNA and shRNA to Inhibit TCR or HLA

In some embodiments, TCR expression and/or HLA expression can be inhibited using siRNA or shRNA that targets a nucleic acid encoding a TCR and/or HLA, and/or an inhibitory molecule described herein (e.g., PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, and TGFR beta), in a T cell.

Expression systems for siRNA and shRNAs, and exemplary shRNAs, are described, e.g., in paragraphs 649 and 650 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety

CRISPR to Inhibit TCR or HLA

ZFNs, and uses thereof, are described, e.g., in paragraphs 666-671 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Telomerase Expression

While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, in some embodiments, a therapeutic T cell has short term persistence in a patient, due to shortened telomeres in the T cell; accordingly, transfection with a telomerase gene can lengthen the telomeres of the T cell and improve persistence of the T cell in the patient. See Carl June, “Adoptive T cell therapy for cancer in the clinic”, Journal of Clinical Investigation, 117:1466-1476 (2007). Thus, in an embodiment, an immune effector cell, e.g., a T cell, ectopically expresses a telomerase subunit, e.g., the catalytic subunit of telomerase, e.g., TERT, e.g., hTERT. In some aspects, this disclosure provides a method of producing a CAR-expressing cell, comprising contacting a cell with a nucleic acid encoding a telomerase subunit, e.g., the catalytic subunit of telomerase, e.g., TERT, e.g., hTERT. The cell may be contacted with the nucleic acid before, simultaneous with, or after being contacted with a construct encoding a CAR.

In one aspect, the disclosure features a method of making a population of immune effector cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells). In an embodiment, the method comprises: providing a population of immune effector cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells), contacting the population of immune effector cells with a nucleic acid encoding a CAR; and contacting the population of immune effector cells with a nucleic acid encoding a telomerase subunit, e.g., hTERT, under conditions that allow for CAR and telomerase expression.

In an embodiment, the nucleic acid encoding the telomerase subunit is DNA. In an embodiment, the nucleic acid encoding the telomerase subunit comprises a promoter capable of driving expression of the telomerase subunit.

In an embodiment, the hTERT is encoded by a nucleic acid having a sequence at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1333. In an embodiment, the hTERT is encoded by a nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 1333.

Activation and Expansion of Immune Effector Cells (e.g., T Cells)

Immune effector cells such as T cells may be activated and expanded generally using methods as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,352,694; 6,534,055; 6,905,680; 6,692,964; 5,858,358; 6,887,466; 6,905,681; 7,144,575; 7,067,318; 7,172,869; 7,232,566; 7,175,843; 5,883,223; 6,905,874; 6,797,514; 6,867,041; and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20060121005.

The procedure for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,199,942, incorporated herein by reference, can be applied to the cells of the present invention. Other suitable methods are known in the art, therefore the present invention is not limited to any particular method of ex vivo expansion of the cells. Briefly, ex vivo culture and expansion of T cells can comprise: (1) collecting CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from a mammal from peripheral blood harvest or bone marrow explants; and (2) expanding such cells ex vivo. In addition to the cellular growth factors described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,199,942, other factors such as flt3-L, IL-1, IL-3 and c-kit ligand, can be used for culturing and expansion of the cells.

Generally, a population of immune effector cells may be expanded by contact with a surface having attached thereto an agent that stimulates a CD3/TCR complex associated signal and a ligand that stimulates a costimulatory molecule on the surface of the T cells. In particular, T cell populations may be stimulated as described herein, such as by contact with an anti-CD3 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, or an anti-CD2 antibody immobilized on a surface, or by contact with a protein kinase C activator (e.g., bryostatin) in conjunction with a calcium ionophore. For co-stimulation of an accessory molecule on the surface of the T cells, a ligand that binds the accessory molecule is used. For example, a population of T cells can be contacted with an anti-CD3 antibody and an anti-CD28 antibody, under conditions appropriate for stimulating proliferation of the T cells. To stimulate proliferation of either CD4+ T cells or CD8+ T cells, an anti-CD3 antibody and an anti-CD28 antibody may be used. Examples of an anti-CD28 antibody include 9.3, B-T3, XR-CD28 (Diaclone, Besançon, France) can be used as can other methods commonly known in the art (Berg et al., Transplant Proc. 30(8):3975-3977, 1998; Haanen et al., J. Exp. Med. 190(9):13191328, 1999; Garland et al., J. Immunol Meth. 227(1-2):53-63, 1999).

In some embodiments, immune effector cells (such as PBMCs or T cells) are expanded and stimulated by contacting the cells to one or both of an anti-CD3 antibody and IL-2. In embodiments, the cells are expanded without anti-CD3 or anti-CD28 beads.

In certain aspects, the primary stimulatory signal and the costimulatory signal for the T cell may be provided by different protocols. For example, the agents providing each signal may be in solution or coupled to a surface. When coupled to a surface, the agents may be coupled to the same surface (i.e., in “cis” formation) or to separate surfaces (i.e., in “trans” formation). Alternatively, one agent may be coupled to a surface and the other agent in solution. In one aspect, the agent providing the costimulatory signal is bound to a cell surface and the agent providing the primary activation signal is in solution or coupled to a surface. In certain aspects, both agents can be in solution. In one aspect, the agents may be in soluble form, and then cross-linked to a surface, such as a cell expressing Fc receptors or an antibody or other binding agent which will bind to the agents. In this regard, see for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20040101519 and 20060034810 for artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs) that are contemplated for use in activating and expanding T cells in the present invention.

In one aspect, the two agents are immobilized on beads, either on the same bead, i.e., “cis,” or to separate beads, i.e., “trans.” By way of example, the agent providing the primary activation signal is an anti-CD3 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and the agent providing the costimulatory signal is an anti-CD28 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof; and both agents are co-immobilized to the same bead in equivalent molecular amounts. In one aspect, a 1:1 ratio of each antibody bound to the beads for CD4+ T cell expansion and T cell growth is used. In certain aspects, a ratio of anti CD3:CD28 antibodies bound to the beads is used such that an increase in T cell expansion is observed as compared to the expansion observed using a ratio of 1:1. In one particular aspect an increase of from about 1 to about 3 fold is observed as compared to the expansion observed using a ratio of 1:1. In one aspect, the ratio of CD3:CD28 antibody bound to the beads ranges from 100:1 to 1:100 and all integer values there between. In one aspect, more anti-CD28 antibody is bound to the particles than anti-CD3 antibody, i.e., the ratio of CD3:CD28 is less than one. In certain aspects, the ratio of anti CD28 antibody to anti CD3 antibody bound to the beads is greater than 2:1. In one particular aspect, a 1:100 CD3:CD28 ratio of antibody bound to beads is used. In one aspect, a 1:75 CD3:CD28 ratio of antibody bound to beads is used. In a further aspect, a 1:50 CD3:CD28 ratio of antibody bound to beads is used. In one aspect, a 1:30 CD3:CD28 ratio of antibody bound to beads is used. In one aspect, a 1:10 CD3:CD28 ratio of antibody bound to beads is used. In one aspect, a 1:3 CD3:CD28 ratio of antibody bound to the beads is used. In yet one aspect, a 3:1 CD3:CD28 ratio of antibody bound to the beads is used.

Ratios of particles to cells from 1:500 to 500:1 and any integer values in between may be used to stimulate T cells or other target cells. As those of ordinary skill in the art can readily appreciate, the ratio of particles to cells may depend on particle size relative to the target cell. For example, small sized beads could only bind a few cells, while larger beads could bind many. In certain aspects the ratio of cells to particles ranges from 1:100 to 100:1 and any integer values in-between and in further aspects the ratio comprises 1:9 to 9:1 and any integer values in between, can also be used to stimulate T cells. The ratio of anti-CD3- and anti-CD28-coupled particles to T cells that result in T cell stimulation can vary as noted above, however certain suitable values include 1:100, 1:50, 1:40, 1:30, 1:20, 1:10, 1:9, 1:8, 1:7, 1:6, 1:5, 1:4, 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, and 15:1 with one suitable ratio being at least 1:1 particles per T cell. In one aspect, a ratio of particles to cells of 1:1 or less is used. In one particular aspect, a suitable particle:cell ratio is 1:5. In further aspects, the ratio of particles to cells can be varied depending on the day of stimulation. For example, in one aspect, the ratio of particles to cells is from 1:1 to 10:1 on the first day and additional particles are added to the cells every day or every other day thereafter for up to 10 days, at final ratios of from 1:1 to 1:10 (based on cell counts on the day of addition). In one particular aspect, the ratio of particles to cells is 1:1 on the first day of stimulation and adjusted to 1:5 on the third and fifth days of stimulation. In one aspect, particles are added on a daily or every other day basis to a final ratio of 1:1 on the first day, and 1:5 on the third and fifth days of stimulation. In one aspect, the ratio of particles to cells is 2:1 on the first day of stimulation and adjusted to 1:10 on the third and fifth days of stimulation. In one aspect, particles are added on a daily or every other day basis to a final ratio of 1:1 on the first day, and 1:10 on the third and fifth days of stimulation. One of skill in the art will appreciate that a variety of other ratios may be suitable for use in the present invention. In particular, ratios will vary depending on particle size and on cell size and type. In one aspect, the most typical ratios for use are in the neighborhood of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 on the first day.

In further aspects of the present invention, the cells, such as T cells, are combined with agent-coated beads, the beads and the cells are subsequently separated, and then the cells are cultured. In an alternative aspect, prior to culture, the agent-coated beads and cells are not separated but are cultured together. In a further aspect, the beads and cells are first concentrated by application of a force, such as a magnetic force, resulting in increased ligation of cell surface markers, thereby inducing cell stimulation.

By way of example, cell surface proteins may be ligated by allowing paramagnetic beads to which anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 are attached (3×28 beads) to contact the T cells. In one aspect the cells (for example, 10⁴ to 10⁹ T cells) and beads (for example, DYNABEADS® M-450 CD3/CD28 T paramagnetic beads at a ratio of 1:1) are combined in a buffer, for example PBS (without divalent cations such as, calcium and magnesium). Again, those of ordinary skill in the art can readily appreciate any cell concentration may be used. For example, the target cell may be very rare in the sample and comprise only 0.01% of the sample or the entire sample (i.e., 100%) may comprise the target cell of interest. Accordingly, any cell number is within the context of the present invention. In certain aspects, it may be desirable to significantly decrease the volume in which particles and cells are mixed together (i.e., increase the concentration of cells), to ensure maximum contact of cells and particles. For example, in one aspect, a concentration of about 10 billion cells/ml, 9 billion/ml, 8 billion/ml, 7 billion/ml, 6 billion/ml, or 5 billion/ml or 2 billion cells/ml is used. In one aspect, greater than 100 million cells/ml is used. In a further aspect, a concentration of cells of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 million cells/ml is used. In yet one aspect, a concentration of cells from 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 million cells/ml is used. In further aspects, concentrations of 125 or 150 million cells/ml can be used. Using high concentrations can result in increased cell yield, cell activation, and cell expansion. Further, use of high cell concentrations allows more efficient capture of cells that may weakly express target antigens of interest, such as CD28-negative T cells. Such populations of cells may have therapeutic value and would be desirable to obtain in certain aspects. For example, using high concentration of cells allows more efficient selection of CD8+ T cells that normally have weaker CD28 expression.

In one embodiment, cells transduced with a nucleic acid encoding a CAR, e.g., a CAR described herein, are expanded, e.g., by a method described herein. In one embodiment, the cells are expanded in culture for a period of several hours (e.g., about 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 18, 21 hours) to about 14 days (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 days). In one embodiment, the cells are expanded for a period of 4 to 9 days. In one embodiment, the cells are expanded for a period of 8 days or less, e.g., 7, 6 or 5 days. In one embodiment, the cells, e.g., a CAR cell described herein, are expanded in culture for 5 days, and the resulting cells are more potent than the same cells expanded in culture for 9 days under the same culture conditions. Potency can be defined, e.g., by various T cell functions, e.g. proliferation, target cell killing, cytokine production, activation, migration, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the cells, e.g., a CD19 CAR cell described herein, expanded for 5 days show at least a one, two, three or four fold increase in cells doublings upon antigen stimulation as compared to the same cells expanded in culture for 9 days under the same culture conditions. In one embodiment, the cells, e.g., the cells expressing a CAR described herein, are expanded in culture for 5 days, and the resulting cells exhibit higher proinflammatory cytokine production, e.g., IFN-γ and/or GM-CSF levels, as compared to the same cells expanded in culture for 9 days under the same culture conditions. In one embodiment, the cells, e.g., a CAR cell described herein, expanded for 5 days show at least a one, two, three, four, five, ten fold or more increase in pg/ml of proinflammatory cytokine production, e.g., IFN-γ and/or GM-CSF levels, as compared to the same cells expanded in culture for 9 days under the same culture conditions.

In one aspect of the present invention, the mixture may be cultured for several hours (about 3 hours) to about 14 days or any hourly integer value in between. In one aspect, the mixture may be cultured for 21 days. In one aspect of the invention the beads and the T cells are cultured together for about eight days. In one aspect, the beads and T cells are cultured together for 2-3 days.

Several cycles of stimulation may also be desired such that culture time of T cells can be 60 days or more. Conditions appropriate for T cell culture include an appropriate media (e.g., Minimal Essential Media or RPMI Media 1640 or, X-vivo 15, (Lonza)) that may contain factors necessary for proliferation and viability, including serum (e.g., fetal bovine or human serum), interleukin-2 (IL-2), insulin, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-7, GM-CSF, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, TGFβ, and TNF-α or any other additives for the growth of cells known to the skilled artisan. Other additives for the growth of cells include, but are not limited to, surfactant, plasmanate, and reducing agents such as N-acetyl-cysteine and 2-mercaptoethanol. Media can include RPMI 1640, AIM-V, DMEM, MEM, α-MEM, F-12, X-Vivo 15, and X-Vivo 20, Optimizer, with added amino acids, sodium pyruvate, and vitamins, either serum-free or supplemented with an appropriate amount of serum (or plasma) or a defined set of hormones, and/or an amount of cytokine(s) sufficient for the growth and expansion of T cells. Antibiotics, e.g., penicillin and streptomycin, are included only in experimental cultures, not in cultures of cells that are to be infused into a subject. The target cells are maintained under conditions necessary to support growth, for example, an appropriate temperature (e.g., 37° C.) and atmosphere (e.g., air plus 5% CO₂).

In one embodiment, the cells are expanded in an appropriate media (e.g., media described herein) that includes one or more interleukin that result in at least a 200-fold (e.g., 200-fold, 250-fold, 300-fold, 350-fold) increase in cells over a 14 day expansion period, e.g., as measured by a method described herein such as flow cytometry. In one embodiment, the cells are expanded in the presence IL-15 and/or IL-7 (e.g., IL-15 and IL-7).

In some embodiments a CAR-expressing cell described herein (e.g., a T cell such as a CD4+ T cell or a CD8+ T cell) is contacted with a composition comprising a interleukin-15 (IL-15) polypeptide, a interleukin-15 receptor alpha (IL-15Ra) polypeptide, or a combination of both a IL-15 polypeptide and a IL-15Ra polypeptide e.g., hetIL-15, during the manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., ex vivo. In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is contacted with a composition comprising a IL-15 polypeptide during the manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., ex vivo. In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is contacted with a composition comprising a combination of both a IL-15 polypeptide and a IL-15 Ra polypeptide during the manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., ex vivo. In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is contacted with a composition comprising hetIL-15 during the manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., ex vivo.

In one embodiment the CAR-expressing cell (e.g., a T cell or NK cell) described herein is contacted with a composition comprising hetIL-15 during ex vivo expansion. In an embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell described herein is contacted with a composition comprising an IL-15 polypeptide during ex vivo expansion. In an embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell described herein is contacted with a composition comprising both an IL-15 polypeptide and an IL-15Ra polypeptide during ex vivo expansion. In one embodiment the contacting results in the survival and proliferation of a lymphocyte subpopulation, e.g., CD8+ T cells.

In an embodiments, the method of making disclosed herein further comprises contacting the population of immune effector cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) with a nucleic acid encoding a telomerase subunit, e.g., hTERT. The nucleic acid encoding the telomerase subunit can be DNA.

T cells that have been exposed to varied stimulation times may exhibit different characteristics. For example, typical blood or apheresed peripheral blood mononuclear cell products have a helper T cell population (TH, CD4+) that is greater than the cytotoxic or suppressor T cell population (TC, CD8+). Ex vivo expansion of T cells by stimulating CD3 and CD28 receptors produces a population of T cells that prior to about days 8-9 consists predominately of TH cells, while after about days 8-9, the population of T cells comprises an increasingly greater population of TC cells. Accordingly, depending on the purpose of treatment, infusing a subject with a T cell population comprising predominately of TH cells may be advantageous. Similarly, if an antigen-specific subset of TC cells has been isolated it may be beneficial to expand this subset to a greater degree.

Further, in addition to CD4 and CD8 markers, other phenotypic markers vary significantly, but in large part, reproducibly during the course of the cell expansion process. Thus, such reproducibility enables the ability to tailor an activated T cell product for specific purposes.

Once a CAR, e.g., CD19 CAR is constructed, various assays can be used to evaluate the activity of the molecule, such as but not limited to, the ability to expand T cells following antigen stimulation, sustain T cell expansion in the absence of re-stimulation, and anti-cancer activities in appropriate in vitro and animal models. Assays to evaluate the effects of a CAR, e.g., CD19 CAR are described in further detail below

Western blot analysis of CAR expression in primary T cells can be used to detect the presence of monomers and dimers, e.g., as described in paragraph 695 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

In vitro expansion of CAR⁺ T cells following antigen stimulation can be measured by flow cytometry. For example, a mixture of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells are stimulated with αCD3/αCD28 beads followed by transduction with lentiviral vectors expressing GFP under the control of the promoters to be analyzed. Exemplary promoters include the CMV IE gene, EF-1α, ubiquitin C, or phosphoglycerokinase (PGK) promoters. GFP fluorescence is evaluated on day 6 of culture in the CD4⁺ and/or CD8⁺ T cell subsets by flow cytometry. See, e.g., Milone et al., Molecular Therapy 17(8): 1453-1464 (2009). Alternatively, a mixture of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells are stimulated with αCD3/αCD28 coated magnetic beads on day 0, and transduced with CAR on day 1 using a bicistronic lentiviral vector expressing CAR along with eGFP using a 2A ribosomal skipping sequence. Cultures are re-stimulated with either CD19⁺ K562 cells (K562-CD19), wild-type K562 cells (K562 wild type) or K562 cells expressing hCD32 and 4-1BBL in the presence of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibody (K562-BBL-3/28) following washing. Exogenous IL-2 is added to the cultures every other day at 100 IU/ml. GFP⁺ T cells are enumerated by flow cytometry using bead-based counting. See, e.g., Milone et al., Molecular Therapy 17(8): 1453-1464 (2009).

Sustained CAR⁺ T cell expansion in the absence of re-stimulation can also be measured. See, e.g., Milone et al., Molecular Therapy 17(8): 1453-1464 (2009). Briefly, mean T cell volume (fl) is measured on day 8 of culture using a Coulter Multisizer particle counter, a Nexcelom Cellometer Vision, or Millipore Scepter following stimulation with αCD3/αCD28 coated magnetic beads on day 0, and transduction with the indicated CAR on day 1.

Animal models can also be used to measure a CAR-expressing cell activity, e.g., as described in paragraph 698 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Dose dependent CAR treatment response can be evaluated, e.g., as described in paragraph 699 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Assessment of cell proliferation and cytokine production has been previously described, e.g., as described in paragraph 700 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Cytotoxicity can be assessed by a standard ⁵¹Cr-release assay, e.g., as described in paragraph 701 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Imaging technologies can be used to evaluate specific trafficking and proliferation of CARs in tumor-bearing animal models, e.g., as described in paragraph 702 of International Application WO2015/142675, filed Mar. 13, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

In one embodiment, the CAR ligand is coupled to a toxic agent (e.g., a toxin or a cell ablative drug). In another embodiment, the anti-idiotypic antibody can cause effector cell activity, e.g., ADCC or ADC activities.

Exemplary anti-CAR antibodies that can be used in the methods disclosed herein are described, e.g., in WO 2014/190273 and by Jena et al., “Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-Specific Monoclonal Antibody to Detect CD19-Specific T cells in Clinical Trials”, PLOS March 2013 8:3 e57838, the contents of which are incorporated by reference.

Methods of Manufacture/Production

In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein further include administering a T cell depleting agent after treatment with the cell (e.g., an immune effector cell as described herein, e.g., an immune effector cell expressing CAR driven by a truncated PGK1 promoter), thereby reducing (e.g., depleting) the CAR-expressing cells (e.g., the CD19CAR-expressing cells). Such T cell depleting agents can be used to effectively deplete CAR-expressing cells (e.g., CD19CAR-expressing cells) to mitigate toxicity. In some embodiments, the CAR-expressing cells were manufactured according to a method herein, e.g., assayed (e.g., before or after transfection or transduction) according to a method herein.

In one embodiment, the T cell depleting agent is an agent that depletes CAR-expressing cells, e.g., by inducing antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement-induced cell death. For example, CAR-expressing cells described herein may also express an antigen (e.g., a target antigen) that is recognized by molecules capable of inducing cell death, e.g., ADCC or complement-induced cell death. For example, CAR expressing cells described herein may also express a target protein (e.g., a receptor) capable of being targeted by an antibody or antibody fragment. Examples of such target proteins include, but are not limited to, EpCAM, VEGFR, integrins (e.g., integrins ανβ, α4, αI¾β3, α4β7, α5β1, ανβ3, αν), members of the TNF receptor superfamily (e.g., TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2), PDGF Receptor, interferon receptor, folate receptor, GPNMB, ICAM-1, HLA-DR, CEA, CA-125, MUC1, TAG-72, IL-6 receptor, 5T4, GD2, GD3, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD11, CD11a/LFA-1, CD15, CD18/ITGB2, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD23/lgE Receptor, CD25, CD28, CD30, CD33, CD38, CD40, CD41, CD44, CD51, CD52, CD62L, CD74, CD80, CD125, CD147/basigin, CD152/CTLA-4, CD154/CD40L, CD195/CCR5, CD319/SLAMF7, and EGFR, and truncated versions thereof (e.g., versions preserving one or more extracellular epitopes but lacking one or more regions within the cytoplasmic domain).

In some embodiments, the CAR expressing cell co-expresses the CAR and the target protein, e.g., naturally expresses the target protein or is engineered to express the target protein. For example, the cell, e.g., the population of immune effector cells, can include a nucleic acid (e.g., vector) comprising the CAR nucleic acid (e.g., a CAR nucleic acid as described herein) and a nucleic acid encoding the target protein.

In one embodiment, the T cell depleting agent is a CD52 inhibitor, e.g., an anti-CD52 antibody molecule, e.g., alemtuzumab.

Therapeutic Applications

CD19 Associated Diseases and/or Disorders

In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a disease associated with CD19 expression. In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a disease wherein part of the cancer is negative for CD19 and part of the cancer is positive for CD19. For example, the methods and compositions of the invention are useful for treating subjects that have undergone treatment for a disease associated with expression of CD19, wherein the subject that has undergone treatment related to CD19 expression, e.g., treatment with a CD19 CAR, exhibits a disease associated with expression of CD19.

In another aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a disease associated with expression of a B-cell antigen, e.g., one or more of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1. In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a disease wherein part of the tumor is negative for the B-cell antigen and part of the tumor is positive for B-cell antigen. For example, the compositions and methods of the invention are useful for treating subjects that have undergone treatment for a disease associated with expression of the B-cell antigen, wherein the subject that has undergone treatment related to expression of a B-cell antigen, e.g., treatment with a CAR targeting a B-cell antigen, exhibits a disease associated with expression of the B-cell antigen. In a third aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a disease associated with expression of the B-cell antigen, e.g., associated with the expression of CD19 and one or more other B-cell antigens.

In one aspect, the invention pertains to a vector comprising CD19 CAR operably linked to promoter for expression in mammalian cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells. In one aspect, the invention provides a recombinant cell, e.g., a T cell or NK cell, expressing the CD19 CAR for use in treating CD19-expressing cancers, wherein the recombinant T cell expressing the CD19 CAR is termed a CD19 CART. In one aspect, the CD19 CART described herein, is capable of contacting a cancer cell with at least one CD19 CAR expressed on its surface such that the CART targets the cancer cell and growth of the cancer is inhibited.

In one aspect the invention pertains to a CD22 inhibitor which is a CD22 CART, e.g., a T cell, expressing the CD22 CAR for use in treating CD22-expressing tumors in combination with CD19 CARTS, wherein the recombinant T cell expressing the CD22 CAR is termed a CD22 CART. In one aspect, the CD22 CART described herein, is capable of contacting a tumor cell with at least one CD22 CAR expressed on its surface such that the CD22 CART targets the tumor cell and growth of the tumor is inhibited.

In one aspect, the invention pertains to a method of inhibiting growth of a CD19-expressing cancer cell, comprising contacting the cancer cell with a CD19 CAR expressing cell, e.g., a CD19 CART cell, described, and one or more other CAR expressing cells, e.g., as described herein, such that the CART is activated in response to the antigen and targets the cancer cell, wherein the growth of the cancer is inhibited. The CD19 CAR-expressing cell, e.g., T cell, is administered in combination with a B-cell inhibitor, e.g., a B-cell inhibitor described herein.

In some embodiments, the CD19 inhibitor (e.g., one or more cells that express a CAR molecule that binds CD19, e.g., a CAR molecule that binds CD19 described herein) and the B cell inhibitor (e.g., one or more inhibitors of CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1, e.g., as described herein) are administered simultaneously. In some embodiments, the CD19 inhibitor and the B cell inhibitor are infused into a subject simultaneously, e.g., are admixed in the same infusion volume. In other embodiments, the simultaneous administration comprises separate administration of the CD19 inhibitor and the B cell inhibitor, e.g., administration of each is initiated within a predetermined time interval (e.g., within 15, 30, or 45 minutes of each other).

In some embodiments, the start of CD19 inhibitor delivery and the start of B cell inhibitor delivery are within 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18, or 24 hours of each other, or within 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 60, 80, or 100 days of each other. In some embodiments, the end of CD19 inhibitor delivery and the end of B cell inhibitor delivery are within 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18, or 24 hours of each other, or within 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 60, 80, or 100 days of each other. In some embodiments, the overlap in terms of administration between the CD19 inhibitor delivery (e.g., infusion) and the end of B cell inhibitor delivery (e.g., infusion) is at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 45 minutes.

In some embodiments, the B cell inhibitor is administered while the one or more cells that express a CAR molecule that binds CD19 are present (e.g., undergoing expansion) in the subject. In some embodiments, the CD19 inhibitor is administered while the one or more cells that express a CAR molecule that binds one or more of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, ROR1, CD79b, CD179b, or CD79a are present (e.g., undergoing expansion) in the subject.

The invention includes (among other things) a type of cellular therapy where T cells are genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and the CAR T cell is infused to a recipient in need thereof. The infused cell is able to kill tumor cells in the recipient. Unlike antibody therapies, CAR-modified T cells are able to replicate in vivo resulting in long-term persistence that can lead to sustained tumor control. In various aspects, the T cells administered to the patient, or their progeny, persist in the patient for at least four months, five months, six months, seven months, eight months, nine months, ten months, eleven months, twelve months, thirteen months, fourteen month, fifteen months, sixteen months, seventeen months, eighteen months, nineteen months, twenty months, twenty-one months, twenty-two months, twenty-three months, two years, three years, four years, or five years after administration of the T cell to the patient.

The invention also includes a type of cellular therapy where immune effector cells, e.g., NK cells or T cells are modified, e.g., by in vitro transcribed RNA, to transiently express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and the CAR-expressing (e.g., CAR T) cell is infused to a recipient in need thereof. The infused cell is able to kill cancer cells in the recipient. Thus, in various aspects, the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., T cells, administered to the patient, is present for less than one month, e.g., three weeks, two weeks, one week, after administration of the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., T cell, to the patient.

Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the anti-cancer immunity response elicited by the CAR-modified T cells may be an active or a passive immune response, or alternatively may be due to a direct vs indirect immune response. In one aspect, the CAR (e.g., CD19-CAR) transduced T cells exhibit specific proinflammatory cytokine secretion and potent cytolytic activity in response to human cancer cells expressing the target antigen (e.g., CD19), resist soluble target antigen inhibition, mediate bystander killing and mediate regression of an established human cancer. For example, antigen-less cancer cells within a heterogeneous field of target antigen-expressing cancer may be susceptible to indirect destruction by target antigen-redirected T cells that has previously reacted against adjacent antigen-positive cancer cells.

In one aspect, the CAR-modified cells of the invention, e.g., fully human CAR T cells, may be a type of vaccine for ex vivo immunization and/or in vivo therapy in a mammal. In one aspect, the mammal is a human.

With respect to ex vivo immunization, at least one of the following occurs in vitro prior to administering the cell into a mammal: i) expansion of the cells, ii) introducing a nucleic acid encoding a CAR to the cells or iii) cryopreservation of the cells.

Ex vivo procedures are well known in the art and are discussed more fully below. Briefly, cells are isolated from a mammal (e.g., a human) and genetically modified (i.e., transduced or transfected in vitro) with a vector expressing a CAR disclosed herein. The CAR-modified cell can be administered to a mammalian recipient to provide a therapeutic benefit. The mammalian recipient may be a human and the CAR-modified cell can be autologous with respect to the recipient. Alternatively, the cells can be allogeneic, syngeneic or xenogeneic with respect to the recipient.

The procedure for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,199,942, incorporated herein by reference, can be applied to the cells of the present invention. Other suitable methods are known in the art, therefore the present invention is not limited to any particular method of ex vivo expansion of the cells. Briefly, ex vivo culture and expansion of T cells can comprise: (1) collecting CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from a mammal from peripheral blood harvest or bone marrow explants; and (2) expanding such cells ex vivo. In addition to the cellular growth factors described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,199,942, other factors such as flt3-L, IL-1, IL-3 and c-kit ligand, can be used for culturing and expansion of the cells.

In addition to using a cell-based vaccine in terms of ex vivo immunization, also included in the methods described herein are compositions and methods for in vivo immunization to elicit an immune response directed against an antigen in a patient.

Generally, the cells activated and expanded as described herein may be utilized in the treatment and prevention of diseases that arise in individuals who are immunocompromised. In particular, the CAR-expressing cells described herein are used in the treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions associated with expression of one or more B-cell antigen. In certain aspects, the cells are used in the treatment of patients at risk for developing diseases, disorders and conditions associated with expression of one or more B-cell antigen.

In one aspect, CD19 and second B-cell antigen are expressed by the same cells within the population. In another aspect, CD19 and second B-cell antigen are expressed by distinct subsets of cells within the population. In another aspect, CD19 and second B-cell antigen are expressed by overlapping subsets of cells within the population, such that some cells express CD19 and second B-cell antigen, some cells express CD19, and some cells express the second B-cell antigen.

The present invention also provides methods for inhibiting the proliferation or reducing a cell population expressing CD19 and a second B-cell antigen, the methods comprising (i) contacting a population of cells comprising a CD19-expressing cell with an anti-CD19 CAR-expressing cell described herein that binds to the CD19-expressing cell, and (ii) contacting the second B-cell antigen-expressing cell with a second CAR-expressing cell described herein that binds to the second B-cell antigen-expressing cell.

Hematologic Cancers

Hematological cancer conditions are the types of cancer such as leukemia, lymphoma and malignant lymphoproliferative conditions that affect blood, bone marrow and the lymphatic system.

In one embodiment, the hematologic cancer is leukemia. In one embodiment, the cancer is selected from the group consisting of one or more acute leukemias including but not limited to B-cell acute lymphoid leukemia (BALL), T-cell acute lymphoid leukemia (TALL), small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL), acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL); one or more chronic leukemias including but not limited to chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); additional hematologic cancers or hematologic conditions including, but not limited to mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), B cell prolymphocytic leukemia, blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, Burkitt's lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, hairy cell leukemia, small cell- or a large cell-follicular lymphoma, malignant lymphoproliferative conditions, MALT lymphoma, Marginal zone lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplasia and myelodysplastic syndrome, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma, plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, and “preleukemia” which are a diverse collection of hematological conditions united by ineffective production (or dysplasia) of myeloid blood cells. Diseases associated with CD19, CD20, or CD22 expression include, but not limited to atypical and/or non-classical cancers, malignancies, precancerous conditions or proliferative diseases expressing CD19, CD20, or CD22; and any combination thereof.

Leukemia can be classified as acute leukemia and chronic leukemia. Acute leukemia can be further classified as acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). Chronic leukemia includes chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL). Other related conditions include myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS, formerly known as “preleukemia”) which are a diverse collection of hematological conditions united by ineffective production (or dysplasia) of myeloid blood cells and risk of transformation to AML.

Lymphoma is a group of blood cell tumors that develop from lymphocytes. Exemplary lymphomas include non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma.

In an aspect, the invention pertains to a method of treating a mammal having Hodgkin lymphoma, comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of the cells expressing a CD19 CAR molecule, e.g., a CD19 CAR molecule described herein and a B-cell inhibitor.

In one aspect, the compositions and CART cells or CAR expressing NK cells of the present invention are particularly useful for treating B cell malignancies, such as non-Hodgkin lymphomas, e.g., DLBCL, Follicular lymphoma, or CLL.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a group of cancers of lymphocytes, formed from either B or T cells. NHLs occur at any age and are often characterized by lymph nodes that are larger than normal, weight loss, and fever. Different types of NHLs are categorized as aggressive (fast-growing) and indolent (slow-growing) types. B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas include Burkitt lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma, immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. Examples of T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas include mycosis fungoides, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Lymphomas that occur after bone marrow or stem cell transplantation are typically B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. See, e.g., Maloney. NEJM. 366.21 (2012):2008-16.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a form of NHL that develops from B cells. DLBCL is an aggressive lymphoma that can arise in lymph nodes or outside of the lymphatic system, e.g., in the gastrointestinal tract, testes, thyroid, skin, breast, bone, or brain. Three variants of cellular morphology are commonly observed in DLBCL: centroblastic, immunoblastic, and anaplastic. Centroblastic morphology is most common and has the appearance of medium-to-large-sized lymphocytes with minimal cytoplasm. There are several subtypes of DLBCL. For example, primary central nervous system lymphoma is a type of DLBCL that only affects the brain is called and is treated differently than DLBCL that affects areas outside of the brain. Another type of DLBCL is primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, which often occurs in younger patients and grows rapidly in the chest. Symptoms of DLBCL include a painless rapid swelling in the neck, armpit, or groin, which is caused by enlarged lymph nodes. For some subjects, the swelling may be painful. Other symptoms of DLBCL include night sweats, unexplained fevers, and weight loss. Although most patients with DLBCL are adults, this disease sometimes occurs in children. Treatment for DLBCL includes chemotherapy (e.g., cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, etoposide), antibodies (e.g., Rituxan), radiation, or stem cell transplants.

Follicular lymphoma a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is a lymphoma of follicle center B-cells (centrocytes and centroblasts), which has at least a partially follicular pattern. Follicular lymphoma cells express the B-cell markers CD10, CD19, CD20, and CD22. Follicular lymphoma cells are commonly negative for CD5. Morphologically, a follicular lymphoma tumor is made up of follicles containing a mixture of centrocytes (also called cleaved follicle center cells or small cells) and centroblasts (also called large noncleaved follicle center cells or large cells). The follicles are surrounded by non-malignant cells, mostly T-cells. The follicles contain predominantly centrocytes with a minority of centroblasts. The World Health Organization (WHO) morphologically grades the disease as follows: grade 1 (<5 centroblasts per high-power field (hpf); grade 2 (6-15 centroblasts/hpf); grade 3 (>15 centroblasts/hpf). Grade 3 is further subdivided into the following grades: grade 3A (centrocytes still present); grade 3B (the follicles consist almost entirely of centroblasts). Treatment of follicular lymphoma includes chemotherapy, e.g., alkyating agents, nucleoside analogs, anthracycline-containing regimens, e.g., a combination therapy called CHOP-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone/prednisolone, antibodies (e.g., rituximab), radioimmunotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

CLL is a B-cell malignancy characterized by neoplastic cell proliferation and accumulation in bone morrow, blood, lymph nodes, and the spleen. The median age at time of diagnosis of CLL is about 65 years. Current treatments include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, or bone marrow transplantation. Sometimes symptoms are treated surgically (e.g., splenectomy removal of enlarged spleen) or by radiation therapy (e.g., de-bulking swollen lymph nodes). Chemotherapeutic agents to treat CLL include, e.g., fludarabine, 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (cladribine), chlorambucil, vincristine, pentostatin, cyclophosphamide, alemtuzumab (Campath-1H), doxorubicin, and prednisone. Biological therapy for CLL includes antibodies, e.g., alemtuzumab, rituximab, and ofatumumab; as well as tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies. A number of criteria can be used to classify stage of CLL, e.g., the Rai or Binet system. The Rai system describes CLL has having five stages: stage 0 where only lymphocytosis is present; stage I where lymphadenopathy is present; stage II where splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, or both are present; stage III where anemia, organomegaly, or both are present (progression is defined by weight loss, fatigue, fever, massive organomegaly, and a rapidly increasing lymphocyte count); and stage IV where anemia, thrombocytopenia, organomegaly, or a combination thereof are present. Under the Binet staging system, there are three categories: stage A where lymphocytosis is present and less than three lymph nodes are enlarged (this stage is inclusive of all Rai stage 0 patients, one-half of Rai stage I patients, and one-third of Rai stage II patients); stage B where three or more lymph nodes are involved; and stage C wherein anemia or thrombocytopenia, or both are present. These classification systems can be combined with measurements of mutation of the immunoglobulin genes to provide a more accurate characterization of the state of the disease. The presence of mutated immunoglobulin genes correlates to improved prognosis.

In another embodiment, the CAR expressing cells of the present invention are used to treat cancers or leukemias, e.g., with leukemia stem cells. For example, the leukemia stem cells are CD34+/CD38⁻ leukemia cells.

In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a disease associated with CD22 expression. In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating a disease wherein part of the tumor is negative for CD20 or CD22 and part of the tumor is positive for CD20 or CD22. For example, the CAR of the invention is useful for treating subjects that have undergone treatment for a disease associated with expression of CD20 or CD22, wherein the subject that has undergone treatment related to expression of CD20 or CD22 exhibits a disease associated with expression of CD20 or CD22.

In one aspect, the invention pertains to a method of inhibiting growth of a CD20 or CD22-expressing tumor cell, comprising contacting the tumor cell with a CD20 or CD22 CAR cell (e.g., T cell or NK cell) of the present invention such that the CART is activated in response to the antigen and targets the cancer cell, wherein the growth of the tumor is inhibited.

In one aspect, the invention pertains to a method of treating cancer in a subject. The method comprises administering to the subject a CD20 or CD22 CAR expressing cell (e.g., T cell or NK cell) of the present invention such that the cancer is treated in the subject. An example of a cancer that is treatable by the CD20 or CD22 CAR expressing cell (e.g., T cell or NK cell) of the invention is a cancer associated with expression of CD20 or CD22. An example of a cancer that is treatable by the CD20 or CD22 CAR expressing cell (e.g., T cell or NK cell) of the invention includes but is not limited to a hematological cancer described herein.

The invention includes a type of cellular therapy where cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) are genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and the CAR expressing cell (e.g., T cell or NK cells) is infused to a recipient in need thereof. The infused cell is able to kill tumor cells in the recipient. Unlike antibody therapies, CAR-modified cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) are able to replicate in vivo resulting in long-term persistence that can lead to sustained tumor control. In various aspects, the cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) administered to the patient, or their progeny, persist in the patient for at least four months, five months, six months, seven months, eight months, nine months, ten months, eleven months, twelve months, thirteen months, fourteen month, fifteen months, sixteen months, seventeen months, eighteen months, nineteen months, twenty months, twenty-one months, twenty-two months, twenty-three months, two years, three years, four years, or five years after administration of the T cell to the patient.

The invention also includes a type of cellular therapy where immune effector cells, e.g., NK cells or T cells are modified, e.g., by in vitro transcribed RNA, to transiently express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and the CAR-expressing (e.g., CART or CAR expressing NK cell) cell is infused to a recipient in need thereof. The infused cell is able to kill cancer cells in the recipient. Thus, in various aspects, the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, are administered to the patient, is present for less than one month, e.g., three weeks, two weeks, one week, after administration of the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., T cells or NK cell, to the patient.

Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the anti-tumor immunity response elicited by the CAR-modified cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) may be an active or a passive immune response, or alternatively may be due to a direct vs indirect immune response. In one aspect, the CAR transduced cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) exhibit specific proinflammatory cytokine secretion and potent cytolytic activity in response to human cancer cells expressing CD20 or CD22, resist soluble CD20 or CD22 inhibition, mediate bystander killing and mediate regression of an established human tumor. For example, antigen-less tumor cells within a heterogeneous field of CD20 or CD22-expressing tumor may be susceptible to indirect destruction by CD20 or CD22-redirected T cells that has previously reacted against adjacent antigen-positive cancer cells.

In one aspect, the CAR-modified cells (e.g., T cells or NK cells) of the invention, e.g., fully human CAR-expressing cells, may be a type of vaccine for ex vivo immunization and/or in vivo therapy in a mammal. In one aspect, the mammal is a human.

Ex vivo procedures are well known in the art and are discussed more fully below. Briefly, cells are isolated from a mammal (e.g., a human) and genetically modified (i.e., transduced or transfected in vitro) with a vector expressing a CAR disclosed herein. The CAR-modified cell can be administered to a mammalian recipient to provide a therapeutic benefit. The mammalian recipient may be a human and the CAR-modified cell can be autologous with respect to the recipient. Alternatively, the cells can be allogeneic, syngeneic or xenogeneic with respect to the recipient.

The procedure for ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,199,942, incorporated herein by reference, can be applied to the cells of the present invention. Other suitable methods are known in the art, therefore the present invention is not limited to any particular method of ex vivo expansion of the cells. Briefly, ex vivo culture and expansion of T cells comprises: (1) collecting CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from a mammal from peripheral blood harvest or bone marrow explants; and (2) expanding such cells ex vivo. In addition to the cellular growth factors described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,199,942, other factors such as flt3-L, IL-1, IL-3 and c-kit ligand, can be used for culturing and expansion of the cells.

In addition to using a cell-based vaccine in terms of ex vivo immunization, the present invention also provides compositions and methods for in vivo immunization to elicit an immune response directed against an antigen in a patient.

Generally, the cells activated and expanded as described herein may be utilized in the treatment and prevention of diseases that arise in individuals who are immunocompromised.

A CAR-expressing cell described herein (e.g., a CD20 CAR, a CD22 CAR, or a CD19 CAR-expressing cell), optionally the one or more B-cell inhibitors, and/or the at least one additional therapeutic agent can be administered simultaneously, in the same or in separate compositions, or sequentially. For sequential administration, the CAR-expressing cell described herein (e.g., a CD20 CAR, a CD22 CAR, or a CD19 CAR-expressing cell) can be administered first, and the additional agent can be administered second, or the order of administration can be reversed.

The CAR therapy and/or other therapeutic agents (such as a second CAR therapy), procedures or modalities can be administered during periods of active disorder, or during a period of remission or less active disease. The CAR therapy can be administered before the other treatment, concurrently with the treatment, post-treatment, or during remission of the disorder.

For instance, in some embodiments, CAR therapy is administered to a subject having a disease associated with CD19, CD20, or CD22 expression, e.g., a cancer. The subject can be assayed for indicators of responsiveness or relapse. In some embodiments, when the subject shows one or more signs of relapse, e.g., a frameshift and/or premature stop codon in CD19, an additional therapy is administered. In embodiments, the additional therapy is a B-cell inhibitor. The CD19 therapy may be continued (for instance, when there are still some CD19-expressing cancer cells detectable in the subject) or may be discontinued (for instance, when a risk-benefit analysis favors discontinuing the therapy).

When administered in combination, the CAR therapy and the additional agent (e.g., second or third agent), or all, can be administered in an amount or dose that is higher, lower or the same than the amount or dosage of each agent used individually, e.g., as a monotherapy. In certain embodiments, the administered amount or dosage of the CAR therapy, the additional agent (e.g., second or third agent), or all, is lower (e.g., at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, or at least 50%) than the amount or dosage of each agent used individually, e.g., as a monotherapy. In other embodiments, the amount or dosage of the CAR therapy, the additional agent (e.g., second or third agent), or all, that results in a desired effect (e.g., treatment of cancer) is lower (e.g., at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, or at least 50% lower) than the amount or dosage of each agent used individually, e.g., as a monotherapy, required to achieve the same therapeutic effect.

In embodiments, one or more of the therapeutics in the combination therapy is an antibody molecule. Cancer antigens can be targeted with monoclonal antibody therapy. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy has been shown to exert powerful antitumor effects by multiple mechanisms, including complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and direct cell inhibition or apoptosis-inducing effects on tumor cells that over-express the target molecules.

In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 or 6 inhibitor, e.g., a CDK4 inhibitor or a CDK6 inhibitor described herein. In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (e.g., an inhibitor that targets both CDK4 and CDK6), e.g., a CDK4/6 inhibitor described herein. In an embodiment, the subject has MCL. MCL is an aggressive cancer that is poorly responsive to currently available therapies, i.e., essentially incurable. In many cases of MCL, cyclin D1 (a regulator of CDK4/6) is expressed (e.g., due to chromosomal translocation involving immunoglobulin and Cyclin D1 genes) in MCL cells. Thus, without being bound by theory, it is thought that MCL cells are highly sensitive to CDK4/6 inhibition with high specificity (i.e., minimal effect on normal immune cells). CDK4/6 inhibitors alone have had some efficacy in treating MCL, but have only achieved partial remission with a high relapse rate. An exemplary CDK4/6 inhibitor is LEE011 (also called ribociclib), the structure of which is shown below.

Without being bound by theory, it is believed that administration of a CAR-expressing cell described herein with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (e.g., LEE011 or other CDK4/6 inhibitor described herein) can achieve higher responsiveness, e.g., with higher remission rates and/or lower relapse rates, e.g., compared to a CDK4/6 inhibitor alone.

In one embodiment, the kinase inhibitor is a BTK inhibitor selected from ibrutinib (PCI-32765); GDC-0834; RN-486; CGI-560; CGI-1764; HM-71224; CC-292; ONO-4059; CNX-774; and LFM-A13. In an embodiment, the BTK inhibitor does not reduce or inhibit the kinase activity of interleukin-2-inducible kinase (ITK), and is selected from GDC-0834; RN-486; CGI-560; CGI-1764; HM-71224; CC-292; ONO-4059; CNX-774; and LFM-A13.

In one embodiment, the kinase inhibitor is a BTK inhibitor, e.g., ibrutinib (PCI-32765). In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with a BTK inhibitor (e.g., ibrutinib). In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with ibrutinib (also called PCI-32765). The structure of ibrutinib (1-[(3R)-3-[4-Amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]piperidin-1-yl]prop-2-en-1-one) is shown below.

In embodiments, the subject has CLL, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). For example, the subject has a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 17 (del(17p), e.g., in a leukemic cell). In other examples, the subject does not have a del(17p). In embodiments, the subject has relapsed CLL or SLL, e.g., the subject has previously been administered a cancer therapy (e.g., previously been administered one, two, three, or four prior cancer therapies). In embodiments, the subject has refractory CLL or SLL. In other embodiments, the subject has follicular lymphoma, e.g., relapse or refractory follicular lymphoma. In one embodiment, the kinase inhibitor is a BTK inhibitor, e.g., ibrutinib (PCI-32765), and the ibrutinib is administered at a dose of about 250 mg, 300 mg, 350 mg, 400 mg, 420 mg, 440 mg, 460 mg, 480 mg, 500 mg, 520 mg, 540 mg, 560 mg, 580 mg, 600 mg (e.g., 250 mg, 420 mg or 560 mg) daily for a period of time, e.g., daily for 21 day cycle, or daily for 28 day cycle. In one embodiment, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 or more cycles of ibrutinib are administered. In some embodiments, ibrutinib is administered in combination with rituximab. See, e.g., Burger et al. (2013) Ibrutinib In Combination With Rituximab (iR) Is Well Tolerated and Induces a High Rate Of Durable Remissions In Patients With High-Risk Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): New, Updated Results Of a Phase II Trial In 40 Patients, Abstract 675 presented at 55^(th) ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, New Orleans, La. 7-10 December Without being bound by theory, it is thought that the addition of ibrutinib enhances the T cell proliferative response and may shift T cells from a T-helper-2 (Th2) to T-helper-1 (Th1) phenotype. Th1 and Th2 are phenotypes of helper T cells, with Th1 versus Th2 directing different immune response pathways. A Th1 phenotype is associated with proinflammatory responses, e.g., for killing cells, such as intracellular pathogens/viruses or cancerous cells, or perpetuating autoimmune responses. A Th2 phenotype is associated with eosinophil accumulation and anti-inflammatory responses.

Drugs that inhibit either the calcium dependent phosphatase calcineurin (cyclosporine and FK506) or inhibit the p70S6 kinase that is important for growth factor induced signaling (rapamycin). (Liu et al., Cell 66:807-815, 1991; Henderson et al., Immun. 73:316-321, 1991; Bierer et al., Curr. Opin. Immun. 5:763-773, 1993) can also be used. In a further aspect, the cell compositions of the present invention may be administered to a patient in conjunction with (e.g., before, simultaneously or following) bone marrow transplantation, T cell ablative therapy using chemotherapy agents such as, fludarabine, external-beam radiation therapy (XRT), cyclophosphamide, and/or antibodies such as OKT3 or CAMPATH. In one aspect, the cell compositions of the present invention are administered following B-cell ablative therapy such as agents that react with CD20, e.g., Rituxan. For example, in one embodiment, subjects may undergo standard treatment with high dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. In certain embodiments, following the transplant, subjects receive an infusion of the expanded immune cells of the present invention. In an additional embodiment, expanded cells are administered before or following surgery.

In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor. IDO is an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of the amino acid, L-tryptophan, to kynurenine. Many cancers overexpress IDO, e.g., prostatic, colorectal, pancreatic, cervical, gastric, ovarian, head, and lung cancer. pDCs, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs) can express IDO. Without being bound by theory, it is thought that a decrease in L-tryptophan (e.g., catalyzed by IDO) results in an immunosuppressive milieu by inducing T-cell anergy and apoptosis. Thus, without being bound by theory, it is thought that an IDO inhibitor can enhance the efficacy of a CAR-expressing cell described herein, e.g., by decreasing the suppression or death of a CAR-expressing immune cell. In embodiments, the subject has a solid tumor, e.g., a solid tumor described herein, e.g., prostatic, colorectal, pancreatic, cervical, gastric, ovarian, head, or lung cancer. Exemplary inhibitors of IDO include but are not limited to 1-methyl-tryptophan, indoximod (NewLink Genetics) (see, e.g., Clinical Trial Identifier Nos. NCT01191216; NCT01792050), and INCB024360 (Incyte Corp.) (see, e.g., Clinical Trial Identifier Nos. NCT01604889; NCT01685255)

In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with a modulator of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). MDSCs accumulate in the periphery and at the tumor site of many solid tumors. These cells suppress T cell responses, thereby hindering the efficacy of CAR-expressing cell therapy. Without being bound by theory, it is thought that administration of a MDSC modulator enhances the efficacy of a CAR-expressing cell described herein. In an embodiment, the subject has a solid tumor, e.g., a solid tumor described herein, e.g., glioblastoma. Exemplary modulators of MDSCs include but are not limited to MCS 110 and BLZ945. MCS 110 is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). See, e.g., Clinical Trial Identifier No. NCT00757757. BLZ945 is a small molecule inhibitor of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R). See, e.g., Pyonteck et al. Nat. Med. 19 (2013):1264-72. The structure of BLZ945 is shown below.

In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with a CD19 CART cell (e.g., CTL019, e.g., as described in WO2012/079000, incorporated herein by reference). In embodiments, the subject has acute myeloid leukemia (AML), e.g., a CD19 positive AML or a CD19 negative AML. In embodiments, the subject has a CD19+ lymphoma, e.g., a CD19+ Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL), a CD19+ FL, or a CD19+ DLBCL. In embodiments, the subject has a relapsed or refractory CD19+ lymphoma. In embodiments, a lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered to the subject prior to, concurrently with, or after administration (e.g., infusion) of CD19 CART cells. In an example, the lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered to the subject prior to administration of CD19 CART cells. For example, the lymphodepleting chemotherapy ends 1-4 days (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 4 days) prior to CD19 CART cell infusion. In embodiments, multiple doses of CD19 CART cells are administered, e.g., as described herein. For example, a single dose comprises about 5×10⁸ CD19 CART cells. In embodiments, a lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered to the subject prior to, concurrently with, or after administration (e.g., infusion) of a CAR-expressing cell described herein, e.g., a non-CD19 CAR-expressing cell. In embodiments, a CD19 CART is administered to the subject prior to, concurrently with, or after administration (e.g., infusion) of a non-CD19 CAR-expressing cell, e.g., a non-CD19 CAR-expressing cell described herein.

In some embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein is administered to a subject in combination with a CD19 CAR-expressing cell, e.g., CTL019, e.g., as described in WO2012/079000, incorporated herein by reference, for treatment of a disease associated with the expression of CLL-1, e.g., a cancer described herein. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that administering a CD19 CAR-expressing cell in combination with a CAR-expressing cell improves the efficacy of a CAR-expressing cell described herein by targeting early lineage cancer cells, e.g., cancer stem cells, modulating the immune response, depleting regulatory B cells, and/or improving the tumor microenvironment. For example, a CD19 CAR-expressing cell targets cancer cells that express early lineage markers, e.g., cancer stem cells and CD19-expressing cells, while the CAR-expressing cell described herein targets cancer cells that express later lineage markers, e.g., CLL-1. This preconditioning approach can improve the efficacy of the CAR-expressing cell described herein. In such embodiments, the CD19 CAR-expressing cell is administered prior to, concurrently with, or after administration (e.g., infusion) of a CAR-expressing cell described herein.

In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell described herein also expresses a CAR targeting CD19, e.g., a CD19 CAR. In an embodiment, the cell expressing a CAR described herein and a CD19 CAR is administered to a subject for treatment of a cancer described herein, e.g., AML. In an embodiment, the configurations of one or both of the CAR molecules comprise a primary intracellular signaling domain and a costimulatory signaling domain. In another embodiment, the configurations of one or both of the CAR molecules comprise a primary intracellular signaling domain and two or more, e.g., 2, 3, 4, or 5 or more, costimulatory signaling domains. In such embodiments, the CAR molecule described herein and the CD19 CAR may have the same or a different primary intracellular signaling domain, the same or different costimulatory signaling domains, or the same number or a different number of costimulatory signaling domains. Alternatively, the CAR described herein and the CD19 CAR are configured as a split CAR, in which one of the CAR molecules comprises an antigen binding domain and a costimulatory domain (e.g., 4-1BB), while the other CAR molecule comprises an antigen binding domain and a primary intracellular signaling domain (e.g., CD3 zeta).

In embodiments, the subject is administered a CAR-expressing cell described herein in combination with a cell cycle regulator, e.g., inhibitor of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), e.g., volasertib (Boehringer Ingelheim); or an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9), e.g., alvocidib (Tolero Pharmaceuticals/Sanofi Aventis). In embodiments, the subject is administered a CAR-expressing cell described herein in combination with a B cell receptor signaling network inhibitor, e.g., an inhibitor of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), e.g., venetoclax (Abbvie/Roche); or an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), e.g., ibrutinib (Pharmacyclics/Johnson & Johnson Janssen Pharmaceutical). In embodiments, the subject is administered a CAR-expressing cell described herein in combination with an inhibitor of M1 aminopeptidase, e.g., tosedostat (CTI BioPharma/Vernalis); an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC), e.g., pracinostat (MEI Pharma); a multi-kinase inhibitor, e.g., rigosertib (Onconova Therapeutics/Baxter/SymBio); or a peptidic CXCR4 inverse agonist, e.g., BL-8040 (BioLineRx).

In another embodiment, the subjects receive an infusion of the CAR expressing cell, e.g., CD19 CAR-expressing cell, compositions of the present invention prior to transplantation, e.g., allogeneic stem cell transplant, of cells. In a preferred embodiment, CAR expressing cells transiently express the CAR, e.g., by electroporation of an mRNA CAR, whereby the expression of the antigen targeted by the CAR, e.g., CD19 is terminated prior to infusion of donor stem cells to avoid engraftment failure. In one embodiment, the subject can be administered an agent which reduces or ameliorates a side effect associated with the administration of a CAR-expressing cell. Side effects associated with the administration of a CAR-expressing cell include, but are not limited to CRS, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), also termed Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS). Symptoms of CRS include high fevers, nausea, transient hypotension, hypoxia, and the like. Accordingly, the methods described herein can comprise administering a CAR-expressing cell described herein to a subject and further administering an agent to manage elevated levels of a soluble factor resulting from treatment with a CAR-expressing cell. In one embodiment, the soluble factor elevated in the subject is one or more of IFN-γ, TNFα, IL-2 and IL-6. Therefore, an agent administered to treat this side effect can be an agent that neutralizes one or more of these soluble factors. Examples of such agents include, but are not limited to a steroid (e.g., corticosteroid), an inhibitor of TNFα, and an inhibitor of IL-6. An example of a TNFα inhibitor is an anti-TNFα antibody molecule such as, infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, and golimumab. Another example of a TNFα inhibitor is a fusion protein such as entanercept. Small molecule inhibitor of TNFα include, but are not limited to, xanthine derivatives (e.g. pentoxifylline) and bupropion. An example of an IL-6 inhibitor is an anti-IL-6 antibody molecule such as tocilizumab (toc), sarilumab, elsilimomab, CNTO 328, ALD518/BMS-945429, CNTO 136, CPSI-2364, CDP6038, VX30, ARGX-109, FE301, and FM101. In one embodiment, the anti-IL-6 antibody molecule is tocilizumab. An example of an IL-1R based inhibitor is anakinra.

In embodiments, lymphodepletion is performed on a subject, e.g., prior to administering one or more cells that express a CAR described herein. In embodiments, the lymphodepletion comprises administering one or more of melphalan, cytoxan, cyclophosphamide, and fludarabine.

In embodiments, a lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered to the subject prior to, concurrently with, or after administration (e.g., infusion) of CAR cells, e.g., cells described herein. In an example, the lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered to the subject prior to administration of CAR cells. For example, the lymphodepleting chemotherapy ends 1-4 days (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 4 days) prior to CAR cell infusion. In embodiments, multiple doses of CAR cells are administered, e.g., as described herein. For example, a single dose comprises about 5×10⁸ CAR cells. In embodiments, a lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered to the subject prior to, concurrently with, or after administration (e.g., infusion) of a CAR-expressing cell described herein.

In some embodiments, CAR-expressing cells described herein are administered to a subject in combination with a CD19 CAR-expressing cell, e.g., CTL019, e.g., as described in WO2012/079000, incorporated herein by reference, for treatment of a disease associated with the expression of cancer antigen, e.g., a cancer described herein. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that administering a CD19 CAR-expressing cell in combination with another CAR-expressing cell improves the efficacy of a CAR-expressing cell described herein by targeting early lineage cancer cells, e.g., cancer stem cells, modulating the immune response, depleting regulatory B cells, and/or improving the tumor microenvironment. For example, a CD19 CAR-expressing cell targets cancer cells that express early lineage markers, e.g., cancer stem cells and CD19-expressing cells, while some other CAR-expressing cells described herein target cancer cells that express later lineage markers. This preconditioning approach can improve the efficacy of the CAR-expressing cell described herein. In such embodiments, the CD19 CAR-expressing cell is administered prior to, concurrently with, or after administration (e.g., infusion) of the second CAR-expressing cell.

In embodiments, a CAR-expressing cell which expresses a CAR targeting a cancer antigen other than CD19 also expresses a CAR targeting CD19, e.g., a CD19 CAR. In an embodiment, the cell expressing a non-CD19 CAR and a CD19 CAR is administered to a subject for treatment of a cancer described herein, e.g., AML. In an embodiment, the configurations of one or both of the CAR molecules comprise a primary intracellular signaling domain and a costimulatory signaling domain. In another embodiment, the configurations of one or both of the CAR molecules comprise a primary intracellular signaling domain and two or more, e.g., 2, 3, 4, or 5 or more, costimulatory signaling domains. In such embodiments, the non-CD19 CAR molecule and the CD19 CAR may have the same or a different primary intracellular signaling domain, the same or different costimulatory signaling domains, or the same number or a different number of costimulatory signaling domains. Alternatively, the non-CD19 CAR and the CD19 CAR are configured as a split CAR, in which one of the CAR molecules comprises an antigen binding domain and a costimulatory domain (e.g., 4-1BB), while the other CAR molecule comprises an antigen binding domain and a primary intracellular signaling domain (e.g., CD3 zeta).

Inhibitory Molecule Inhibitors/Checkpoint Inhibitors

In one embodiment, the subject can be administered an agent which enhances the activity of a CAR-expressing cell. For example, in one embodiment, the agent can be an agent which inhibits an inhibitory molecule, e.g., the agent is a checkpoint inhibitor. Inhibitory or checkpoint molecules, e.g., Programmed Death 1 (PD1), can, in some embodiments, decrease the ability of a CAR-expressing cell to mount an immune effector response. Examples of inhibitory molecules include PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), LAG3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CD160, 2B4, CD80, CD86, B7-H3 (CD276), B7-H4 (VTCN1), HVEM (TNFRSF14 or CD270), KIR, A2aR, MHC class I, MHC class II, GAL9, adenosine, and TGFR (e.g., TGFR beta). In embodiments, the CAR-expressing cell described herein comprises a switch costimulatory receptor, e.g., as described in WO 2013/019615, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The methods described herein can include administration of a CAR-expressing cell in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor. In one embodiment, the subject is a complete responder. In another embodiment, the subject is a partial responder or non-responder, and, e.g., in some embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is administered prior to the CAR-expressing cell, e.g., two weeks, 12 days, 10 days, 8 days, one week, 6 days, 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days or 1 day before administration of the CAR-expressing cell. In some embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is administered concurrently with the CAR-expressing cell.

Inhibition of an inhibitory molecule, e.g., by inhibition at the DNA, RNA or protein level, can optimize a CAR-expressing cell performance. In embodiments, an inhibitory nucleic acid, e.g., an inhibitory nucleic acid, e.g., a dsRNA, e.g., an siRNA or shRNA, or a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), a transcription-activator like effector nuclease (TALEN), or a zinc finger endonuclease (ZFN), can be used to inhibit expression of an inhibitory molecule in the CAR-expressing cell. In an embodiment the inhibitor is an shRNA. In an embodiment, the inhibitory molecule is inhibited within a CAR-expressing cell. In these embodiments, a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the inhibitory molecule is linked to the nucleic acid that encodes a component, e.g., all of the components, of the CAR.

In an embodiment, a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is operably linked to a promoter, e.g., a H1- or a U6-derived promoter such that the dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is expressed, e.g., is expressed within a CAR-expressing cell. See e.g., Tiscornia G., “Development of Lentiviral Vectors Expressing siRNA,” Chapter 3, in Gene Transfer: Delivery and Expression of DNA and RNA (eds. Friedmann and Rossi). Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., USA, 2007; Brummelkamp T R, et al. (2002) Science 296: 550-553; Miyagishi M, et al. (2002) Nat. Biotechnol. 19: 497-500. In an embodiment the nucleic acid molecule that encodes a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is present on the same vector, e.g., a lentiviral vector, that comprises a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a component, e.g., all of the components, of the CAR. In such an embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule that encodes a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is located on the vector, e.g., the lentiviral vector, 5′- or 3′- to the nucleic acid that encodes a component, e.g., all of the components, of the CAR. The nucleic acid molecule that encodes a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function can be transcribed in the same or different direction as the nucleic acid that encodes a component, e.g., all of the components, of the CAR. In an embodiment the nucleic acid molecule that encodes a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is present on a vector other than the vector that comprises a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a component, e.g., all of the components, of the CAR. In an embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule that encodes a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function it transiently expressed within a CAR-expressing cell. In an embodiment, the nucleic acid molecule that encodes a dsRNA molecule that inhibits expression of the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is stably integrated into the genome of a CAR-expressing cell. In an embodiment, the molecule that modulates or regulates, e.g., inhibits, T-cell function is PD-1.

In one embodiment, the inhibitor of an inhibitory signal can be, e.g., an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to an inhibitory molecule. For example, the agent can be an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to PD1, PD-L1, PD-L2 or CTLA4 (e.g., ipilimumab (also referred to as MDX-010 and MDX-101, and marketed as Yervoy®; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Tremelimumab (IgG2 monoclonal antibody available from Pfizer, formerly known as ticilimumab, CP-675,206)). In an embodiment, the agent is an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to TIM3. In an embodiment, the agent is an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to LAG3. In an embodiment, the agent is an antibody or antibody fragment that binds to CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5). In embodiments, the agent that enhances the activity of a CAR-expressing cell, e.g., inhibitor of an inhibitory molecule, is administered in combination with an allogeneic CAR, e.g., an allogeneic CAR described herein (e.g., described in the Allogeneic CAR section herein).

PD1 is an inhibitory member of the CD28 family of receptors that also includes CD28, CTLA-4, ICOS, and BTLA. PD1 is expressed on activated B cells, T cells and myeloid cells (Agata et al. 1996 Int. Immunol 8:765-75). Two ligands for PD1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 have been shown to downregulate T cell activation upon binding to PD1 (Freeman et a. 2000 J Exp Med 192:1027-34; Latchman et al. 2001 Nat Immunol 2:261-8; Carter et al. 2002 Eur J Immunol 32:634-43). PD-L1 is abundant in human cancers (Dong et al. 2003 J Mol Med 81:281-7; Blank et al. 2005 Cancer Immunol. Immunother 54:307-314; Konishi et al. 2004 Clin Cancer Res 10:5094). Immune suppression can be reversed by inhibiting the local interaction of PD1 with PD-L1.

Antibodies, antibody fragments, and other inhibitors of PD1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 are available in the art and may be used combination with a CD19 CAR described herein. For example, nivolumab (also referred to as BMS-936558 or MDX1106; Bristol-Myers Squibb) is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody which specifically blocks PD1. Nivolumab (clone 5C4) and other human monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to PD1 are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,008,449 and WO2006/121168.

AMP-224 (B7-DCIg; Amplimmune; e.g., disclosed in WO2010/027827 and WO2011/066342), is a PD-L2 Fc fusion soluble receptor that blocks the interaction between PD1 and B7-H1. Other anti-PD1 antibodies include AMP 514 (Amplimmune), among others, e.g., anti-PD1 antibodies disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,609,089, US 2010028330, and/or US 20120114649.

In some embodiments, a PD1 inhibitor described herein (e.g., a PD1 antibody, e.g., a PD1 antibody described herein) is used combination with a CD19 CAR described herein to treat a disease associated with expression of CD19. In some embodiments, a PD-L1 inhibitor described herein (e.g., a PD-L1 antibody, e.g., a PD-L1 antibody described herein) is used combination with a CD19 CAR described herein to treat a disease associated with expression of CD19. The disease may be, e.g., a lymphoma such as DLBCL including primary DLBCL or secondary DLBCL. In some embodiments, the subject has, or is identified as having, at least 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90% of cancer cells, e.g., DLBCL cells, which are CD3+/PD1+. In some embodiments, the subject has, or is identified as having, substantially non-overlapping populations of CD19+ cells and PD-L1+ cells in a cancer, e.g., the cancer microenvironment. For instance, in some embodiments, less than 20%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% of cells in the cancer, e.g., cancer microenvironment, are double positive for CD19 and PD-L1.

In some embodiments, the subject is treated with a combination of a CD19 CAR, a PD1 inhibitor, and a PD-L1 inhibitor. In some embodiments, the subject is treated with a combination of a CD19 CAR, a PD1 inhibitor, and a CD3 inhibitor.

In some embodiments, the methods herein include a step of assaying cells in a biological sample, e.g., a sample comprising DLBCL cells, for CD3 and/or PD-1 (e.g., CD3 and/or PD-1 expression). In some embodiments, the methods include a step of assaying cells in a biological sample, e.g., a sample comprising DLBCL cells, for CD19 and/or PD-L1 (e.g., CD19 and/or PD-L1 expression). In some embodiments, the methods include, e.g., providing a sample comprising cancer cells and performing a detection step, e.g., by immunohistochemistry, for one or more of CD3, PD-1, CD19, or PD-L1. The methods may comprise a further step of recommending or administering a treatment, e.g., a treatment comprising a CD19 CAR.

In one embodiment, the anti-PD-1 antibody or fragment thereof is an anti-PD-1 antibody molecule as described in US 2015/0210769, entitled “Antibody Molecules to PD-1 and Uses Thereof,” incorporated by reference in its entirety. In one embodiment, the anti-PD-1 antibody molecule includes at least one, two, three, four, five or six CDRs (or collectively all of the CDRs) from a heavy and light chain variable region from an antibody chosen from any of BAP049-hum01, BAP049-hum02, BAP049-hum03, BAP049-hum04, BAP049-hum05, BAP049-hum06, BAP049-hum07, BAP049-hum08, BAP049-hum09, BAP049-hum10, BAP049-hum11, BAP049-hum12, BAP049-hum13, BAP049-hum14, BAP049-hum15, BAP049-hum16, BAP049-Clone-A, BAP049-Clone-B, BAP049-Clone-C, BAP049-Clone-D, or BAP049-Clone-E; or as described in Table 1 of US 2015/0210769, or encoded by the nucleotide sequence in Table 1, or a sequence substantially identical (e.g., at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99% or higher identical) to any of the aforesaid sequences; or closely related CDRs, e.g., CDRs which are identical or which have at least one amino acid alteration, but not more than two, three or four alterations (e.g., substitutions, deletions, or insertions, e.g., conservative substitutions).

In yet another embodiment, the anti-PD-1 antibody molecule comprises at least one, two, three or four variable regions from an antibody described herein, e.g., an antibody chosen from any of BAP049-hum01, BAP049-hum02, BAP049-hum03, BAP049-hum04, BAP049-hum05, BAP049-hum06, BAP049-hum07, BAP049-hum08, BAP049-hum09, BAP049-hum10, BAP049-hum11, BAP049-hum12, BAP049-hum13, BAP049-hum14, BAP049-hum15, BAP049-hum16, BAP049-Clone-A, BAP049-Clone-B, BAP049-Clone-C, BAP049-Clone-D, or BAP049-Clone-E; or as described in Table 1 of US 2015/0210769, or encoded by the nucleotide sequence in Table 1; or a sequence substantially identical (e.g., at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99% or higher identical) to any of the aforesaid sequences.

TIM3 (T cell immunoglobulin-3) also negatively regulates T cell function, particularly in IFN-g-secreting CD4+ T helper 1 and CD8+ T cytotoxic 1 cells, and plays a critical role in T cell exhaustion. Inhibition of the interaction between TIM3 and its ligands, e.g., galectin-9 (Gal9), phosphatidylserine (PS), and HMGB1, can increase immune response. Antibodies, antibody fragments, and other inhibitors of TIM3 and its ligands are available in the art and may be used combination with a CD19 CAR described herein. For example, antibodies, antibody fragments, small molecules, or peptide inhibitors that target TIM3 binds to the IgV domain of TIM3 to inhibit interaction with its ligands. Antibodies and peptides that inhibit TIM3 are disclosed in WO2013/006490 and US20100247521. Other anti-TIM3 antibodies include humanized versions of RMT3-23 (disclosed in Ngiow et al., 2011, Cancer Res, 71:3540-3551), and clone 8B.2C12 (disclosed in Monney et al., 2002, Nature, 415:536-541). Bi-specific antibodies that inhibit TIM3 and PD-1 are disclosed in US20130156774.

In one embodiment, the anti-TIM3 antibody or fragment thereof is an anti-TIM3 antibody molecule as described in US 2015/0218274, entitled “Antibody Molecules to TIM3 and Uses Thereof,” incorporated by reference in its entirety. In one embodiment, the anti-TIM3 antibody molecule includes at least one, two, three, four, five or six CDRs (or collectively all of the CDRs) from a heavy and light chain variable region from an antibody chosen from any of ABTIM3, ABTIM3-hum01, ABTIM3-hum02, ABTIM3-hum03, ABTIM3-hum04, ABTIM3-hum05, ABTIM3-hum06, ABTIM3-hum07, ABTIM3-hum08, ABTIM3-hum09, ABTIM3-hum10, ABTIM3-hum11, ABTIM3-hum12, ABTIM3-hum13, ABTIM3-hum14, ABTIM3-hum15, ABTIM3-hum16, ABTIM3-hum17, ABTIM3-hum18, ABTIM3-hum19, ABTIM3-hum20, ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM3-hum22, ABTIM3-hum23; or as described in Tables 1-4 of US 2015/0218274; or encoded by the nucleotide sequence in Tables 1-4; or a sequence substantially identical (e.g., at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99% or higher identical) to any of the aforesaid sequences, or closely related CDRs, e.g., CDRs which are identical or which have at least one amino acid alteration, but not more than two, three or four alterations (e.g., substitutions, deletions, or insertions, e.g., conservative substitutions).

In yet another embodiment, the anti-TIM3 antibody molecule comprises at least one, two, three or four variable regions from an antibody described herein, e.g., an antibody chosen from any of ABTIM3, ABTIM3-hum01, ABTIM3-hum02, ABTIM3-hum03, ABTIM3-hum04, ABTIM3-hum05, ABTIM3-hum06, ABTIM3-hum07, ABTIM3-hum08, ABTIM3-hum09, ABTIM3-hum10, ABTIM3-hum11, ABTIM3-hum12, ABTIM3-hum13, ABTIM3-hum14, ABTIM3-hum15, ABTIM3-hum16, ABTIM3-hum17, ABTIM3-hum18, ABTIM3-hum19, ABTIM3-hum20, ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM3-hum22, ABTIM3-hum23; or as described in Tables 1-4 of US 2015/0218274; or encoded by the nucleotide sequence in Tables 1-4; or a sequence substantially identical (e.g., at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 99% or higher identical) to any of the aforesaid sequences.

In other embodiments, the agent which enhances the activity of a CAR-expressing cell is a CEACAM inhibitor (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3, and/or CEACAM-5 inhibitor). In one embodiment, the inhibitor of CEACAM is an anti-CEACAM antibody molecule. Exemplary anti-CEACAM-1 antibodies are described in WO 2010/125571, WO 2013/082366 WO 2014/059251 and WO 2014/022332, e.g., a monoclonal antibody 34B1, 26H7, and 5F4; or a recombinant form thereof, as described in, e.g., US 2004/0047858, U.S. Pat. No. 7,132,255 and WO 99/052552. In other embodiments, the anti-CEACAM antibody binds to CEACAM-5 as described in, e.g., Zheng et al. PLoS One. 2010 Sep. 2; 5(9). pii: e12529 (DOI:10:1371/journal.pone.0021146), or crossreacts with CEACAM-1 and CEACAM-5 as described in, e.g., WO 2013/054331 and US 2014/0271618.

Without wishing to be bound by theory, carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecules (CEACAM), such as CEACAM-1 and CEACAM-5, are believed to mediate, at least in part, inhibition of an anti-tumor immune response (see e.g., Markel et al. J Immunol. 2002 Mar. 15; 168(6):2803-10; Markel et al. J Immunol. 2006 Nov. 1; 177(9):6062-71; Markel et al. Immunology. 2009 February; 126(2):186-200; Markel et al. Cancer Immunol Immunother. 2010 February; 59(2):215-30; Ortenberg et al. Mol Cancer Ther. 2012 June; 11(6):1300-10; Stern et al. J Immunol. 2005 Jun. 1; 174(11):6692-701; Zheng et al. PLoS One. 2010 Sep. 2; 5(9). pii: e12529). For example, CEACAM-1 has been described as a heterophilic ligand for TIM-3 and as playing a role in TIM-3-mediated T cell tolerance and exhaustion (see e.g., WO 2014/022332; Huang, et al. (2014) Nature doi: 10.1038/nature13848). In embodiments, co-blockade of CEACAM-1 and TIM-3 has been shown to enhance an anti-tumor immune response in xenograft colorectal cancer models (see e.g., WO 2014/022332; Huang, et al. (2014), supra). In other embodiments, co-blockade of CEACAM-1 and PD-1 reduce T cell tolerance as described, e.g., in WO 2014/059251. Thus, CEACAM inhibitors can be used with the other immunomodulators described herein (e.g., anti-PD-1 and/or anti-TIM-3 inhibitors) to enhance an immune response against a cancer, e.g., a melanoma, a lung cancer (e.g., NSCLC), a bladder cancer, a colon cancer, an ovarian cancer, and other cancers as described herein.

LAG3 (lymphocyte activation gene-3 or CD223) is a cell surface molecule expressed on activated T cells and B cells that has been shown to play a role in CD8+ T cell exhaustion. Antibodies, antibody fragments, and other inhibitors of LAG3 and its ligands are available in the art and may be used combination with a CD19 CAR described herein. For example, BM S-986016 (Bristol-Myers Squib) is a monoclonal antibody that targets LAG3.

While not wishing to be bound by theory, in some embodiments, a tumor microenvironment is not conducive to CART cells attacking cancer cells, due to direct or indirect inhibitory effects exerted by the presence of PD-L1+ expressing cells or PD1+ T cells within the tumor microenvironment. More specifically, a tumor microenvironment can comprise tumor cells (which are generally CD19+), immune effector cells (which can be CD3+ T cells and can be PD1+ or PD1-, and which can be endogenous cells or CAR-expressing cells), and activated myeloid cells (which are generally PD-L1+). PD1+ T cells can create a “barrier” around the tumor microenvironment by preventing entry of CART cells the tumor. According to the non-limiting theory herein, pre-administration of a PD1 inhibitor and/or PD-L1 inhibitor makes the tumor microenvironment more favorable to entry of CAR-expressing cells into the tumor microenvironment and effectively clear the target positive cancer cells. Data supporting this model is provided herein, e.g., in Examples 20 and 21.

Accordingly, in certain aspects, the present disclosure provides methods of combination therapy comprising administering to a subject a cell that expresses a CAR molecule that binds CD19, e.g., a CD19 CAR, in combination with a PD1 inhibitor, a PD-L1 inhibitor, or both. In some embodiments, the PD1 inhibitor and/or PD-L1 inhibitor is administered before the CAR therapy. In other embodiments, the PD1 inhibitor and/or PD-L1 inhibitor is administered concurrently with or after the CAR therapy. In some aspects, the subject is a subject having a disease associated with expression of CD19, e.g., a hematologic malignancy, e.g., a leukemia or lymphoma, e.g., DLBCL, e.g. primary DLBCL. In some embodiments, the patient has, or is identified as having, elevated levels of PD1, PDL1, or CD3, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the patient has, or is identified as having, or at least 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90% of DLBCL cells which are positive for CD3 and PD1.

Also provided herein are methods for monitoring the efficacy of a CAR therapy, e.g., a CD19 CAR therapy. CAR-expressing cells can be administered to a patient's bloodstream with the intent that the cells home to a tumor cell, e.g., infiltrate a tumor. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the method comprises assaying a tumor sample for the presence of CAR-expressing cells. In embodiments, the method comprises detecting a tumor marker, e.g., CD19. In embodiments, the method comprises detecting a marker of a CAR-expressing cell, e.g., a CAR construct or nucleic acid encoding the CAR construct. In embodiments, the method further comprises detecting a T cell marker, e.g., CD3. In some aspects, the subject is a subject having a disease associated with expression of CD19, e.g., a hematologic malignancy, e.g., a leukemia or lymphoma, e.g., DLBCL, e.g. primary DLBCL. In some embodiments, if the CAR-expressing cells show poor infiltration of the tumor, the subject is identified as at an elevated risk of relapse compared to a subject with good infiltration of the tumor. In some embodiments, if the CAR-expressing cells show poor infiltration of the tumor, the subject is administered a PD1 inhibitor and/or PD-L1 inhibitor, e.g., in combination with a second dose of CAR-expressing cells.

In some embodiments, the agent which enhances the activity of a CAR-expressing cell can be, e.g., a fusion protein comprising a first domain and a second domain, wherein the first domain is an inhibitory molecule, or fragment thereof, and the second domain is a polypeptide that is associated with a positive signal, e.g., a polypeptide comprising an intracellular signaling domain as described herein. In some embodiments, the polypeptide that is associated with a positive signal can include a costimulatory domain of CD28, CD27, ICOS, e.g., an intracellular signaling domain of CD28, CD27 and/or ICOS, and/or a primary signaling domain, e.g., of CD3 zeta, e.g., described herein. In one embodiment, the fusion protein is expressed by the same cell that expressed the CAR. In another embodiment, the fusion protein is expressed by a cell, e.g., a T cell that does not express an anti-CD19 CAR.

In one embodiment, the agent which enhances activity of a CAR-expressing cell described herein is miR-17-92.

In one embodiment, the agent which enhances activity of a CAR-described herein is a cytokine. Cytokines have important functions related to T cell expansion, differentiation, survival, and homeostasis. Cytokines that can be administered to the subject receiving a CAR-expressing cell described herein include: IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, IL-18, and IL-21, or a combination thereof. In embodiments, the cytokine administered is IL-7, IL-15, or IL-21, or a combination thereof. The cytokine can be administered once a day or more than once a day, e.g., twice a day, three times a day, or four times a day. The cytokine can be administered for more than one day, e.g. the cytokine is administered for 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or 4 weeks. For example, the cytokine is administered once a day for 7 days.

In embodiments, the cytokine is administered in combination with CAR-expressing cells. The cytokine can be administered simultaneously or concurrently with the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., administered on the same day. The cytokine may be prepared in the same pharmaceutical composition as the CAR-expressing cells, or may be prepared in a separate pharmaceutical composition. Alternatively, the cytokine can be administered shortly after administration of the CAR-expressing T cells, e.g., 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, or 7 days after administration of the CAR-expressing cells. In embodiments where the cytokine is administered in a dosing regimen that occurs over more than one day, the first day of the cytokine dosing regimen can be on the same day as administration with the CAR-expressing cells, or the first day of the cytokine dosing regimen can be 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, or 7 days after administration of the CAR-expressing T cells. In one embodiment, on the first day, the CAR-expressing cells are administered to the subject, and on the second day, a cytokine is administered once a day for the next 7 days. In an embodiment, the cytokine to be administered in combination with the CAR-expressing cells is IL-7, IL-15, and/or IL-21.

In other embodiments, the cytokine is administered a sufficient period of time after administration of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., at least 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, or 1 year or more after administration of CAR-expressing cells. In one embodiment, the cytokine is administered after assessment of the subject's response to the CAR-expressing cells. For example, the subject is administered CAR-expressing cells according to the dosage and regimens described herein. The response of the subject to CART therapy is assessed at 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, or 1 year or more after administration of CAR-expressing cells, using any of the methods described herein, including inhibition of tumor growth, reduction of circulating tumor cells, or tumor regression. Subjects that do not exhibit a sufficient response to CART therapy can be administered a cytokine. Administration of the cytokine to the subject that has sub-optimal response to the CART therapy improves CART efficacy and/or anti-tumor activity. In an embodiment, the cytokine administered after administration of CAR-expressing cells is IL-7.

Further combination therapies may include anti-allergenic agents, anti-emetics, analgesics, adjunct therapies,

Some patients may experience allergic reactions to the therapeutics described herein and/or other anti-cancer agent(s) during or after administration; therefore, anti-allergic agents are often administered to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction. Suitable anti-allergic agents include corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone (e.g., Decadron®), beclomethasone (e.g., Beclovent®), hydrocortisone (also known as cortisone, hydrocortisone sodium succinate, hydrocortisone sodium phosphate, and sold under the tradenames Ala-Cort®, hydrocortisone phosphate, Solu-Cortef®, Hydrocort Acetate® and Lanacort®), prednisolone (sold under the tradenames Delta-Cortel®, Orapred®, Pediapred® and Prelone®), prednisone (sold under the tradenames Deltasone®, Liquid Red®, Meticorten® and Orasone®), methylprednisolone (also known as 6-methylprednisolone, methylprednisolone acetate, methylprednisolone sodium succinate, sold under the tradenames Duralone®, Medralone®, Medrol®, M-Prednisol® and Solu-Medrol®); antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (e.g., Benadryl®), hydroxyzine, and cyproheptadine; and bronchodilators, such as the beta-adrenergic receptor agonists, albuterol (e.g., Proventil®), and terbutaline (Brethine®).

Some patients may experience nausea during and after administration of the therapeutics described herein and/or other anti-cancer agent(s); therefore, anti-emetics are used in preventing nausea (upper stomach) and vomiting. Suitable anti-emetics include aprepitant (Emend®), ondansetron (Zofran®), granisetron HCl (Kytril®), lorazepam (Ativan®. dexamethasone (Decadron®), prochlorperazine (Compazine®), casopitant (Rezonic® and Zunrisa®), and combinations thereof.

Medication to alleviate the pain experienced during the treatment period is often prescribed to make the patient more comfortable. Common over-the-counter analgesics, such Tylenol®, are often used. However, opioid analgesic drugs such as hydrocodone/paracetamol or hydrocodone/acetaminophen (e.g., Vicodin®), morphine (e.g., Astramorph® or Avinza®), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin® or Percocet®), oxymorphone hydrochloride (Opana®), and fentanyl (e.g., Duragesic®) are also useful for moderate or severe pain.

In an effort to protect normal cells from treatment toxicity and to limit organ toxicities, cytoprotective agents (such as neuroprotectants, free-radical scavengers, cardioprotectors, anthracycline extravasation neutralizers, nutrients and the like) may be used as an adjunct therapy. Suitable cytoprotective agents include Amifostine (Ethyol®), glutamine, dimesna (Tavocept®), mesna (Mesnex®), dexrazoxane (Zinecard® or Totect®), xaliproden (Xaprila®), and leucovorin (also known as calcium leucovorin, citrovorum factor and folinic acid).

The structure of the active compounds identified by code numbers, generic or trade names may be taken from the actual edition of the standard compendium “The Merck Index” or from databases, e.g. Patents International (e.g. IMS World Publications).

Combination with a Low, Immune-Enhancing Dose of an mTOR Inhibitor

In one embodiment, the cells expressing a CAR molecule, e.g., a CAR molecule described herein, are administered in combination with a low, immune enhancing dose of an mTOR inhibitor. For instance, in an embodiment, the combination therapy includes: CD19 CAR expressing cells, a B-cell inhibitor (inhibitor of one or more of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1, e.g., a CAR-expressing cell targeting one or more of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1), and an mTOR inhibitor. Methods described herein use low, immune enhancing, doses of mTOR inhibitors, e.g., allosteric mTOR inhibitors, including rapalogs such as RAD001. Administration of a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., a dose that is insufficient to completely suppress the immune system, but sufficient to improve immune function) can optimize the performance of immune effector cells, e.g., T cells or CAR-expressing cells, in the subject. Methods for measuring mTOR inhibition, dosages, treatment regimens, and suitable pharmaceutical compositions are described in U.S. Patent Application No. 2015/01240036, hereby incorporated by reference.

In an embodiment, administration of a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor can result in one or more of the following:

-   -   i) a decrease in the number of PD-1 positive immune effector         cells;     -   ii) an increase in the number of PD-1 negative immune effector         cells;     -   iii) an increase in the ratio of PD-1 negative immune effector         cells/PD-1 positive immune effector cells;     -   iv) an increase in the number of naive T cells;     -   v) an increase in the expression of one or more of the following         markers: CD62L^(high), CD127^(high), CD27⁺, and BCL2, e.g., on         memory T cells, e.g., memory T cell precursors;     -   vi) a decrease in the expression of KLRG1, e.g., on memory T         cells, e.g., memory T cell precursors; or     -   vii) an increase in the number of memory T cell precursors,         e.g., cells with any one or combination of the following         characteristics: increased CD62L^(high), increased CD127^(high),         increased CD27⁺, decreased KLRG1, and increased BCL2;

and wherein any of the foregoing, e.g., i), ii), iii), iv), v), vi), or vii), occurs e.g., at least transiently, e.g., as compared to a non-treated subject.

In another embodiment, administration of a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor results in increased or prolonged proliferation or persistence of CAR-expressing cells, e.g., in culture or in a subject, e.g., as compared to non-treated CAR-expressing cells or a non-treated subject. In embodiments, increased proliferation or persistence is associated with in an increase in the number of CAR-expressing cells. Methods for measuring increased or prolonged proliferation are described in Examples 18 and 19. In another embodiment, administration of a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor results in increased killing of cancer cells by CAR-expressing cells, e.g., in culture or in a subject, e.g., as compared to non-treated CAR-expressing cells or a non-treated subject. In embodiments, increased killing of cancer cells is associated with in a decrease in tumor volume.

In one embodiment, the cells expressing a CAR molecule, e.g., a CAR molecule described herein, are administered in combination with a low, immune enhancing dose of an mTOR inhibitor, e.g., an allosteric mTOR inhibitor, e.g., RAD001, or a catalytic mTOR inhibitor. For example, administration of the low, immune enhancing, dose of the mTOR inhibitor can be initiated prior to administration of a CAR-expressing cell described herein; completed prior to administration of a CAR-expressing cell described herein; initiated at the same time as administration of a CAR-expressing cell described herein; overlapping with administration of a CAR-expressing cell described herein; or continuing after administration of a CAR-expressing cell described herein.

Alternatively or in addition, administration of a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor can optimize immune effector cells to be engineered to express a CAR molecule described herein. In such embodiments, administration of a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor, e.g., an allosteric inhibitor, e.g., RAD001, or a catalytic inhibitor, is initiated or completed prior to harvest of immune effector cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, to be engineered to express a CAR molecule described herein, from a subject.

In another embodiment, immune effector cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, to be engineered to express a CAR molecule described herein, e.g., after harvest from a subject, or CAR-expressing immune effector cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, e.g., prior to administration to a subject, can be cultured in the presence of a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor.

In an embodiment, administering to the subject a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor comprises administering, e.g., once per week, e.g., in an immediate release dosage form, 0.1 to 20, 0.5 to 10, 2.5 to 7.5, 3 to 6, or about 5, mgs of RAD001, or a bioequivalent dose thereof. In an embodiment, administering to the subject a low, immune enhancing, dose of an mTOR inhibitor comprises administering, e.g., once per week, e.g., in a sustained release dosage form, 0.3 to 60, 1.5 to 30, 7.5 to 22.5, 9 to 18, or about 15 mgs of RAD001, or a bioequivalent dose thereof.

In an embodiment, a dose of an mTOR inhibitor is associated with, or provides, mTOR inhibition of at least 5 but no more than 90%, at least 10 but no more than 90%, at least 15, but no more than 90%, at least 20 but no more than 90%, at least 30 but no more than 90%, at least 40 but no more than 90%, at least 50 but no more than 90%, at least 60 but no more than 90%, at least 70 but no more than 90%, at least 5 but no more than 80%, at least 10 but no more than 80%, at least 15, but no more than 80%, at least 20 but no more than 80%, at least 30 but no more than 80%, at least 40 but no more than 80%, at least 50 but no more than 80%, at least 60 but no more than 80%, at least 5 but no more than 70%, at least 10 but no more than 70%, at least 15, but no more than 70%, at least 20 but no more than 70%, at least 30 but no more than 70%, at least 40 but no more than 70%, at least 50 but no more than 70%, at least 5 but no more than 60%, at least 10 but no more than 60%, at least 15, but no more than 60%, at least 20 but no more than 60%, at least 30 but no more than 60%, at least 40 but no more than 60%, at least 5 but no more than 50%, at least 10 but no more than 50%, at least 15, but no more than 50%, at least 20 but no more than 50%, at least 30 but no more than 50%, at least 40 but no more than 50%, at least 5 but no more than 40%, at least 10 but no more than 40%, at least 15, but no more than 40%, at least 20 but no more than 40%, at least 30 but no more than 40%, at least 35 but no more than 40%, at least 5 but no more than 30%, at least 10 but no more than 30%, at least 15, but no more than 30%, at least 20 but no more than 30%, or at least 25 but no more than 30%.

The extent of mTOR inhibition can be conveyed as, or corresponds to, the extent of P70 S6 kinase inhibition, e.g., the extent of mTOR inhibition can be determined by the level of decrease in P70 S6 kinase activity, e.g., by the decrease in phosphorylation of a P70 S6 kinase substrate. The level of mTOR inhibition can be evaluated by various methods, such as measuring P70 S6 kinase activity by the Boulay assay, as described in U.S. Patent Application No. 2015/01240036, hereby incorporated by reference, or as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,727,950, hereby incorporated by reference; measuring the level of phosphorylated S6 by western blot; or evaluating a change in the ratio of PD1 negative immune effector cells to PD1 positive immune effector cells.

As used herein, the term “mTOR inhibitor” refers to a compound or ligand, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which inhibits the mTOR kinase in a cell. In an embodiment, an mTOR inhibitor is an allosteric inhibitor. Allosteric mTOR inhibitors include the neutral tricyclic compound rapamycin (sirolimus), rapamycin-related compounds, that is compounds having structural and functional similarity to rapamycin including, e.g., rapamycin derivatives, rapamycin analogs (also referred to as rapalogs) and other macrolide compounds that inhibit mTOR activity. In an embodiment, an mTOR inhibitor is a catalytic inhibitor.

Rapamycin is a known macrolide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus having the structure shown in Formula A.

See, e.g., McAlpine, J. B., et al., J. Antibiotics (1991) 44: 688; Schreiber, S. L., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1991) 113: 7433; U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,992. There are various numbering schemes proposed for rapamycin. To avoid confusion, when specific rapamycin analogs are named herein, the names are given with reference to rapamycin using the numbering scheme of formula A.

Rapamycin analogs useful in the invention are, for example, O-substituted analogs in which the hydroxyl group on the cyclohexyl ring of rapamycin is replaced by OR₁ in which R₁ is hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkoxyalkyl, acylaminoalkyl, or aminoalkyl; e.g. RAD001, also known as everolimus, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,665,772 and WO94/09010, the contents of each are incorporated by reference.

Other suitable rapamycin analogs include those substituted at the 26- or 28-position. The rapamycin analog may be an epimer of an analog mentioned above, particularly an epimer of an analog substituted in position 40, 28 or 26, and may optionally be further hydrogenated, e.g. as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,015,815, WO95/14023 and WO99/15530 the contents of which are incorporated by reference, e.g. ABT578 also known as zotarolimus or a rapamycin analog described in U.S. Pat.

Methods and Biomarkers for Evaluating CAR-Effectiveness or Sample Suitability

The present disclosure provides, among other things, gene signatures that indicate whether a cancer patient treated with a CAR therapy is likely to relapse, or has relapsed. Without wishing to be bound by theory, an experimental basis for this gene signature is set out in Example 12.

In an embodiment, novel transcriptional gene signatures described herein (e.g., in Table 29 in Example 12) are used to enable manufactured product improvements, thereby reducing the likelihood of patient relapse. In an embodiment, gene signatures described herein are used to modify therapeutic application of manufactured product, thereby reducing the likelihood of patient relapse.

In an embodiment, gene signatures described herein (e.g., in Table 29 in Example 12) are identified in a subject prior to treatment with a CAR-expressing cell, e.g., CART treatment (e.g., a CART19 treatment, e.g., CTL019 therapy) that predict relapse to CAR treatment. In an embodiment, gene signatures described herein are identified in an apheresis sample or bone marrow sample. In an embodiment, gene signatures described herein are identified in a manufactured CAR-expressing cell product, e.g., CART product (e.g., a CART19 product, e.g., CTL019) prior to infusion.

This disclosure also provides evidence, for instance in Example 12, that (without wishing to be bound by theory) decreasing the T_(REG) signature in the patient prior to apheresis or during manufacturing of the CART product reduces the risk of patient relapse.

In an embodiment, a patient is pre-treated with one or more therapies that reduce T_(REG) cells prior to collection of cells for CAR product manufacturing, e.g., CART product manufacturing, thereby reducing the risk of patient relapse to CAR-expressing cell treatment (e.g., CTL019 treatment). Methods of decreasing T_(REG) cells include, but are not limited to, cyclophosphamide, anti-GITR antibody, CD25-depletion, and combinations thereof.

In an embodiment, a patient is pre-treated with cyclophosphamide or an anti-GITR antibody prior to collection of cells for CAR-expressing cell product manufacturing, thereby reducing the risk of patient relapse to CAR-expressing cell treatment (e.g., CTL019 treatment).

In an embodiment, the CAR-expressing cell manufacturing process is modified to deplete T_(REG) cells prior to manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell product (e.g., a CTL019 product). In an embodiment, CD25-depletion is used to deplete T_(REG) cells prior to manufacturing of the CAR-expressing cell product (e.g., a CTL019 product).

In an embodiment, after treating a patient or a CAR-expressing cell product with a treatment that reduces T_(REG) cells, the patient is treated with a combination therapy. The combination therapy may comprise, e.g., a CD19 inhibitor such as a CD19 CAR-expressing cell, and one or more B-cell inhibitors, e.g., B-cell inhibitors as described herein.

In an embodiment, a patient is assayed for the level of T_(REG) cells in a patient sample, e.g., a sample comprising cancer cells and/or a sample representing a tumor microenvironment. In an embodiment, this information is used to determine a course of treatment for the patient. For instance, in an embodiment, if the patient is identified as having elevated levels of T_(REG) cells compared to a control, the therapy comprises administering a treatment other than a CAR-expressing cell. For instance, the therapy may comprise administration of an antibody molecule, administration of a small molecule therapeutic, surgery, or radiation therapy, or any combination thereof. This therapy may target one or more B-cell antigens.

In an embodiment, a relapser is a patient having, or who is identified as having, an increased level of expression (e.g., increase in RNA levels) of one or more of (e.g., 2, 3, 4, or all of) the following genes, compared to non relapsers: MIR199A1, MIR1203, uc021ovp, ITM2C, and HLA-DQB1 and/or a decreased levels of expression (e.g., decrease in RNA levels) of one or more of (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or all of) the following genes, compared to non relapsers: PPIAL4D, TTTY10, TXLNG2P, MIR4650-1, KDM5D, USP9Y, PRKY, RPS4Y2, RPS4Y1, NCRNA00185, SULT1E1, and EIF1AY.

A non-responder has, or is identified as, a subject having a disease, e.g., a cancer, who does not exhibit a response to a treatment, e.g., the patient has stable disease or progressive disease. A non-responder may be identified, e.g., using the NCCN Guidelines®, as described herein.

Alternatively, or in combination with the methods disclosed herein, responsive to said value, performing one, two, three, four or more of:

administering e.g., to a responder or a non-relapser, a CAR-expressing cell therapy;

administered an altered dosing of a CAR-expressing cell therapy;

altering the schedule or time course of a CAR-expressing cell therapy;

administering, e.g., to a non-responder or a partial responder, an additional agent in combination with a CAR-expressing cell therapy, e.g., a checkpoint inhibitor, e.g., a checkpoint inhibitor described herein;

administering to a non-responder or partial responder a therapy that increases the number of younger T cells in the subject prior to treatment with a CAR-expressing cell therapy;

modifying a manufacturing process of a CAR-expressing cell therapy, e.g., enriching for younger T cells prior to introducing a nucleic acid encoding a CAR, or increasing the transduction efficiency, e.g., for a subject identified as a non-responder or a partial responder;

administering an alternative therapy, e.g., for a non-responder or partial responder or relapser; or

if the subject is, or is identified as, a non-responder or a relapser, decreasing the T_(REG) cell population and/or T_(REG) gene signature, e.g., by one or more of CD25 depletion, administration of cyclophosphamide, anti-GITR antibody, or a combination thereof.

In certain embodiments, the subject is pre-treated with an anti-GITR antibody. In certain embodiment, the subject is treated with an anti-GITR antibody prior to infusion or re-infusion.

In some embodiments of the methods described herein, imaging with FDG-PET/CT (PET/CT) is performed on a subject who has been treated with a CAR therapy. This measurement can predict response to the therapy. For instance, in embodiments, metabolically active tumor volume (MTV) and/or [11F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) uptake are measured. In embodiments, a decrease in MTV is indicative of response, e.g., CR (complete response) or PR (partial response), e.g., a post-treatment MTV value of about 0 is indicative of CR, while an increase in MTV is indicative of PD (progressive disease). In embodiments, a decrease in FDG uptake is indicative of response, e.g., CR or PR, while an increase in FDG uptake is indicative of PD. In embodiments, the imaging is performed after administration of the CAR therapy, e.g., about 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, or 6 months after administration of the CAR therapy. In embodiments, the imaging is performed on a subject who does not have symptoms of CRS (cytokine release syndrome), e.g., a patient who suffered from CRS and whose symptoms resolved prior to imaging. In embodiments, the imaging is performed on a subject who has symptoms of CRS.

In embodiments, imaging is performed prior to CAR therapy, and the pre-therapy image is compared to a post-therapy image. In embodiments, the subject has a cancer, e.g., lymphoma, e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL). In some embodiments, the CAR therapy comprises a CAR19-expressing cell, e.g., CTL019. In some embodiments, the CAR therapy comprises a CAR therapy described herein, e.g., a CAR20-expressing cell, a CAR22-expressing cell, or a CAR19-expressing cell, optionally in combination with a B-cell therapy.

Personalized Medicine (Theranostics)

CD19 Characteristics, e.g. Mutations

Without wishing to be bound by theory, some cancer patients show an initial response to a CD19 inhibitor such as a CD19 CAR-expressing cell, and then relapse. In some embodiments, the relapse is caused (at least in part) by a frameshift and/or premature stop codon in CD19 in the cancer cells, or other change in the expression (including expression levels) of CD19 which reduces the ability of a CD19 CAR-expressing cell to target the cancer cells. Such a mutation can reduce the effectiveness of the CD19 therapy and contribute to the patient's relapse. Accordingly, in some embodiments, it can be beneficial when a CD19 therapy is supplemented or replaced with a therapy directed to a second, different target, e.g., a target expressed in B-cells, e.g., one or more of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1. Various exemplary combination therapies of this type are disclosed herein.

This application discloses, among other things, methods for treating a subject having cancer comprising one or more of: (1) determining if a subject has a difference, e.g., statistically significant difference, in a characteristic of CD19 relative to a reference characteristic, and (2) if there is a difference between the determined characteristic and reference characteristic, administering to the subject a therapeutically effective dose of a CAR therapy, e.g., CART, thereby treating the subject. The patient may be, e.g., a patient who has relapsed after treatment with a CD19 inhibitor, e.g., a CD19 CAR expressing cell. The patient may be a patient who has received or is receiving a CD19 CAR therapy and is at risk of relapse. The patient may be a non-responder to a CD19 CAR therapy.

The characteristic can be, e.g., a CD19 sequence, e.g., protein or nucleic acid sequence. The sequence can be determined, e.g., as described in the Examples, by high throughput nucleic acid sequencing, or by mass spectrometry of proteins. As described in the Example herein, a patient may relapse after CD19 CART therapy because of mutations in CD19, e.g., in exon 2 of CD19, e.g., a mutation that causes a frameshift and a premature stop codon in CD19. In embodiments, the insertion or deletion does not cause one or both of a frameshift and a premature stop codon. The mutation may be, e.g., an insertion, a deletion, a substitution, a translocation, or a combination of any of the foregoing. The insertion, deletion, or substitution may involve, e.g., at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 20, or 50 nucleotides. The insertion, deletion, or substitution may involve, e.g., at most 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 20, 50, or 100 nucleotides. In some cases, a population of cells will comprise more than one mutation. In such cases, the mutations can be in overlapping or non-overlapping sub-populations of cells.

In some cases a patient is identified as having a CD19 characteristic that reduces CD19's ability to engage with a CD19 inhibitor such as a CD19 CAR expressing cell. Such a characteristic may be, e.g., a frameshift mutation, a premature stop codon, an alteration in nucleic acid sequence or an alteration in the structure of the primary mRNA transcript. The characteristic may be, e.g., a departure from normal production of CD19 that occurs earlier than splicing. The characteristic may be, e.g., a characteristic other than exon skipping. Such patients may be treated with an inhibitor of another target, e.g., a B-cell inhibitor, for example a CAR expressing cell directed against another epitope, e.g., an epitope within one or more of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1.

In some cases, a patient is identified as having a CD19 characteristic that reduces CD19's ability to engage with a CD19 inhibitor, such as a CD19 CAR expressing cell, but does not reduce or abrogate CD19's ability to engage with a second CD19 inhibitor, such as a CD19 inhibitor that binds to a different region on CD19. Such a characteristic may be, e.g., a mutation that does not cause one or both of a frameshift mutation or a premature stop codon. Such a characteristic may be, e.g., an alteration in nucleic acid sequence or an alteration in the structure of the primary mRNA transcript, a departure from normal production of CD19 that occurs earlier than splicing, or a characteristic other than exon skipping. Such patients may be treated with an inhibitor of CD19, e.g., a B-cell inhibitor directed against an intact region of CD19, e.g., a wild-type portion of CD19. For instance, if a mutation is present in exon 2, the second CD19 inhibitor may bind to an exon other than exon 2, or a part of exon 2 that lacks the mutation. The second CD19 inhibitor may be, e.g., a CD19 inhibitor described herein.

T_(EFF) and T_(REG) Signatures

Methods herein can include steps of determining a T_(REG) signature or determining the levels of T_(EFF) cells or T_(REG) cells, e.g., in a patient or in a population of cells e.g., immune cells. Methods herein can also include steps of reducing the level of T_(REG) cells, or decreasing a T_(REG) signature, in a patient or in a population of cells. In some embodiments, a T_(EFF) is a cell with upregulated expression of one or more (e.g., at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or all) of the following genes: AIM2, ALAS1, B4GALT5, BATF, C3orf26, C4orf43, CCL3, CCL4, CCT3, CCT7, CD40LG, CHAC2, CSF2, CTNNA1, EBNA1BP2, EDARADD, EEF1E1, EIF2B3, EIF2S1, FABP5, FAM40B, FKBP4, FOSL1, GFOD1, GLRX2, HSPD1, HSPE1, IFNG, IL15RA, IL21, IL2RA, IL3, KCNK5, KIAA0020, LARP4, LRP8, LTA, MANF, MIR1182, MIR155, MIR155HG, MTCH2, MYOF, NDUFAF1, NLN, NME1, NME1-NME2, OTUD7B, PAM, PDIA6, PEA15, PFKM, PGAM1, PGAM4, PPIL1, PRDX4, PRSS23, PSMD1, PSMD11, PSMD14, PTRH2, PUS7, RBBP8, RPF2, RPP25, SFXN1, SLC27A2, SLC39A14, SLC43A3, SORD, SPR, SRXN1, STIP1, STT3A, TBX21, TMCC2, TMEM165, TNFRSF9, TXN, TXNDC5, UCK2, VDR, WDR12, YWHAG, and ZDHHC16. In some embodiments, a T_(REG) cell is a cell with upregulated expression of one or more (e.g., at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, or all) of the following genes: AIM2, ALAS1, BATF, C5orf32, CCL17, CD40LG, CHAC2, CSF1, CTSL1, EBNA1BP2, EDARADD, EMP1, EPAS1, FABP5, FAM40B, FKBP4, FOSL1, GCLM, GK, GPR56, HMOX1, HSPD1, HSPE1, IKBIP, IL10, IL13, IL15RA, IL1RN, IL2RA, IL3, IL4, IL5, IL9, KCNK5, LTA, MANF, MIR1182, MIR155, MIR155HG, MYOF, NDUFAF1, NLN, NME1, NME1-NME2, PANX2, PDIA6, PGAM4, PPIL1, PPPDE2, PRDX4, PRKAR1B, PSMD1, PSMD11, PUS7, RBBP8, SLC27A2, SLC39A14, SLC43A3, SRXN1, STIP1, STT3A, TBX21, TNFRSF11A, TNFRSF1B, TNFRSF8, TNFRSF9, TXN, UCK2, VDR, VTRNA1-3, WDR12, YWHAG, ZDHHC16, and ZNF282. The upregulated expression may be, e.g., measured 16 hours after stimulation. The upregulated expression may be determined, e.g., by measuring RNA levels for the indicated genes.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Treatments

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may comprise, in some aspects, a CAR-expressing cell, e.g., a plurality of CAR-expressing cells, as described herein, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically or physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients. Such compositions may comprise buffers such as neutral buffered saline, phosphate buffered saline and the like; carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, sucrose or dextrans, mannitol; proteins; polypeptides or amino acids such as glycine; antioxidants; chelating agents such as EDTA or glutathione; adjuvants (e.g., aluminum hydroxide); and preservatives. Compositions of the present invention are in one aspect formulated for intravenous administration.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered in a manner appropriate to the disease to be treated (or prevented). The quantity and frequency of administration will be determined by such factors as the condition of the patient, and the type and severity of the patient's disease, although appropriate dosages may be determined by clinical trials.

In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is substantially free of, e.g., there are no detectable levels of a contaminant, e.g., selected from the group consisting of endotoxin, mycoplasma, replication competent lentivirus (RCL), p24, VSV-G nucleic acid, HIV gag, residual anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads, mouse antibodies, pooled human serum, bovine serum albumin, bovine serum, culture media components, vector packaging cell or plasmid components, a bacterium and a fungus. In one embodiment, the bacterium is at least one selected from the group consisting of Alcaligenes faecalis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenza, Neisseria meningitides, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, and Streptococcus pyogenes group A.

When “an immunologically effective amount,” “an anti-tumor effective amount,” “a tumor-inhibiting effective amount,” or “therapeutic amount” is indicated, the precise amount of the compositions of the present invention to be administered can be determined by a physician with consideration of individual differences in age, weight, tumor size, extent of infection or metastasis, and condition of the patient (subject). In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the cells, e.g., T cells described herein may be administered at a dosage of 10⁴ to 10⁹ cells/kg body weight, in some instances 10⁵ to 10⁶ cells/kg body weight, including all integer values within those ranges. In some embodiments, the cells, e.g., T cells described herein may be administered at 3×10⁴, 1×10⁶, 3×10⁶, or 1×10⁷ cells/kg body weight. The cell compositions may also be administered multiple times at these dosages. The cells can be administered by using infusion techniques that are commonly known in immunotherapy (see, e.g., Rosenberg et al., New Eng. J. of Med. 319:1676, 1988).

In some embodiments, a dose of CAR cells (e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 CAR cells) comprises about 1×10⁵, 2×10⁵, 5×10⁵, 1×10⁶, 1.1×10⁶, 2×10⁶, 3.6×10⁶, 5×10⁶, 1×10⁷, 1.8×10⁷, 2×10⁷, 5×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 2×10⁸, or 5×10⁸ cells/kg. In some embodiments, a dose of CAR cells (e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 CAR cells) comprises at least about 1×10⁵, 2×10⁵, 5×10⁵, 1×10⁶, 1.1×10⁶, 2×10⁶, 3.6×10⁶, 5×10⁶, 1×10⁷, 1.8×10⁷, 2×10⁷, 5×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 2×10⁸, or 5×10⁸ cells/kg. In some embodiments, a dose of CAR cells (e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 CAR cells) comprises up to about 1×10⁵, 2×10⁵, 5×10⁵, 1×10⁶, 1.1×10⁶, 2×10⁶, 3.6×10⁶, 5×10⁶, 1×10⁷, 1.8×10⁷, 2×10⁷, 5×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 2×10⁸, or 5×10⁸ cells/kg. In some embodiments, a dose of CAR cells (e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 CAR cells) comprises about 1.1×10⁶-1.8×10⁷ cells/kg or about 8×10⁵-1.5×10⁶ cells/kg. In some embodiments, a dose of CAR cells (e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 CAR cells) comprises about 1×10⁷, 2×10⁷, 5×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 2×10⁸, 5×10⁸, 1×10⁹, 2×10⁹, or 5×10⁹ cells. In some embodiments, a dose of CAR cells (e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 CAR cells) comprises at least about 1×10⁷, 2×10⁷, 5×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 2×10⁸, 5×10⁸, 1×10⁹, 2×10⁹, or 5×10⁹ cells. In some embodiments, a dose of CAR cells (e.g., CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD123, FLT-3, or ROR1 CAR cells) comprises up to about 1×10⁷, 2×10⁷, 5×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 2×10⁸, 5×10⁸, 1×10⁹, 2×10⁹, or 5×10⁹ cells.

In certain aspects, it may be desired to administer activated cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, to a subject and then subsequently redraw blood (or have an apheresis performed), activate the cells therefrom according to the present invention, and reinfuse the patient with these activated and expanded cells. This process can be carried out multiple times every few weeks. In certain aspects, cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, can be activated from blood draws of from 10 cc to 400 cc. In certain aspects, cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, are activated from blood draws of 20 cc, 30 cc, 40 cc, 50 cc, 60 cc, 70 cc, 80 cc, 90 cc, or 100 cc.

The administration of the subject compositions may be carried out in any convenient manner, including by aerosol inhalation, injection, ingestion, transfusion, implantation or transplantation. The compositions described herein may be administered to a patient trans arterially, subcutaneously, intradermally, intratumorally, intranodally, intramedullary, intramuscularly, by intravenous (i.v.) injection, or intraperitoneally. In one aspect, the cell compositions, e.g., T cell or NK cell compositions, of the present invention are administered to a patient by intradermal or subcutaneous injection. In one aspect, the cell compositions e.g., T cell or NK cell compositions, of the present invention are administered by i.v. injection. The compositions of cells e.g., T cell or NK cell compositions, may be injected directly into a tumor, lymph node, or site of infection.

In a particular exemplary aspect, subjects may undergo leukapheresis, wherein leukocytes are collected, enriched, or depleted ex vivo to select and/or isolate the cells of interest, e.g., T cells. These cell isolates, e.g., T cell or NK cell isolates, may be expanded by methods known in the art and treated such that one or more CAR constructs of the invention may be introduced, thereby creating a CAR-expressing cell, e.g., CAR T cell of the invention. Subjects in need thereof may subsequently undergo standard treatment with high dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. In certain aspects, following or concurrent with the transplant, subjects receive an infusion of the expanded CAR-expressing cells of the present invention. In an additional aspect, expanded cells are administered before or following surgery.

The dosage of the above treatments to be administered to a patient will vary with the precise nature of the condition being treated and the recipient of the treatment. The scaling of dosages for human administration can be performed according to art-accepted practices. The dose for a therapeutic, e.g., an antibody, e.g., CAMPATH, for example, may be, e.g., in the range 1 to about 100 mg for an adult patient, e.g., administered daily for a period between 1 and 30 days. A suitable daily dose is 1 to 10 mg per day although in some instances larger doses of up to 40 mg per day may be used (described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,120,766).

In one embodiment, the CAR is introduced into cells, e.g., T cells or NK cells, e.g., using in vitro transcription, and the subject (e.g., human) receives an initial administration of CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells of the invention, and one or more subsequent administrations of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells of the invention, wherein the one or more subsequent administrations are administered less than 15 days, e.g., 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 days after the previous administration. In one embodiment, more than one administration of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells of the invention are administered to the subject (e.g., human) per week, e.g., 2, 3, or 4 administrations of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells of the invention are administered per week. In one embodiment, the subject (e.g., human subject) receives more than one administration of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells per week (e.g., 2, 3 or 4 administrations per week) (also referred to herein as a cycle), followed by a week of no CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells administrations, and then one or more additional administration of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells (e.g., more than one administration of the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells per week) is administered to the subject. In another embodiment, the subject (e.g., human subject) receives more than one cycle of CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells, and the time between each cycle is less than 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, or 3 days. In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells are administered every other day for 3 administrations per week. In one embodiment, the CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CAR T cells of the invention are administered for at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or more weeks.

In some embodiments, subjects may be adult subjects (i.e., 18 years of age and older). In certain embodiments, subjects may be between 1 and 30 years of age. In some embodiments, the subjects are 16 years of age or older. In certain embodiments, the subjects are between 16 and 30 years of age. In some embodiments, the subjects are child subjects (i.e., between 1 and 18 years of age).

In one aspect, CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CARTs are generated using lentiviral viral vectors, such as lentivirus. CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CARTs generated that way will have stable CAR expression.

In one aspect, CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CARTs, are generated using a viral vector such as a gammaretroviral vector, e.g., a gammaretroviral vector described herein. CARTs generated using these vectors can have stable CAR expression.

In one aspect, CAR-expressing cells, e.g., CARTs transiently express CAR vectors for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 days after transduction. Transient expression of CARs can be effected by RNA CAR vector delivery. In one aspect, the CAR RNA is transduced into the cell, e.g., NK cell or T cell, by electroporation.

A potential issue that can arise in patients being treated using transiently expressing CAR T cells (particularly with murine scFv bearing CARTs) is anaphylaxis after multiple treatments.

Without being bound by this theory, it is believed that such an anaphylactic response might be caused by a patient developing humoral anti-CAR response, i.e., anti-CAR antibodies having an anti-IgE isotype. It is thought that a patient's antibody producing cells undergo a class switch from IgG isotype (that does not cause anaphylaxis) to IgE isotype when there is a ten to fourteen day break in exposure to antigen.

If a patient is at high risk of generating an anti-CAR antibody response during the course of transient CAR therapy (such as those generated by RNA transductions), CART infusion breaks should not last more than ten to fourteen days.

CD19 Antibodies and CARs

Humanization of Murine Anti-CD19 Antibody

Humanization of murine CD19 antibody is desired for the clinical setting, where the mouse-specific residues may induce a human-anti-mouse antigen (HAMA) response in patients who receive CART19 treatment, i.e., treatment with T cells transduced with the CAR19 construct. The production, characterization, and efficacy of humanized CD19 CAR sequences is described in International Application WO2014/153270 which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety, including Examples 1-5 (p. 115-159), for instance Tables 3, 4, and 5 (p. 125-147).

CAR Constructs, e.g., CD19 CAR Constructs

Of the CD19 CAR constructs described in International Application WO2014/153270, certain sequences are reproduced herein. It is understood that the sequences in this section can also be used in the context of other CARs, e.g., CD10 CARs, CD20 CARs, CD22 CARs, CD34 CARs, CD123 CARs, FLT-3 CARs, ROR1 CARs, CD79b CARs, CD179b CARs, or CD79a CARs.

The sequences of the humanized scFv fragments (SEQ ID NOS: 1-12) are provided below in Table 2. Full CAR constructs were generated using SEQ ID NOs: 1-12 with additional sequences, SEQ ID NOs: 13-17, shown below, to generate full CAR constructs with SEQ ID NOs: 31-42.

CAR22 Constructs: Design and Function

Fully human anti-CD22 single chain variable fragments were isolated. Anti-CD22 ScFvs were cloned into lentiviral CAR expression vectors with the CD3zeta chain and the 4-1BB costimulatory molecule. CAR-containing plasmids were amplified by bacterial transformation in STBL3 cells, followed by Maxiprep using endotoxin-free Qiagen Plasmid Maki kit. Lentiviral supernatant was produced in 293T cells using standard techniques.

The sequences of the human CARs are provided below in Table 6A and 6B.

These clones all contained a Q/K residue change in the signal domain of the co-stimulatory domain derived from CD3zeta chain.

In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a HC CDR1, a HC CDR2, and a HC CDR3 of any heavy chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 6A or 6B. In embodiments, the antigen binding domain further comprises a LC CDR1, a LC CDR2, and a LC CDR3. In embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a LC CDR1, a LC CDR2, and a LC CDR3 of any light chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 6A or 6B.

In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises one, two or all of LC CDR1, LC CDR2, and LC CDR3 of any light chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 6A or 6B, and one, two or all of HC CDR1, HC CDR2, and HC CDR3 of any heavy chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 6A or 6B.

In some embodiments, the CDRs are defined according to the Kabat numbering scheme, the Chothia numbering scheme, or a combination thereof.

CD22-64 and CD22-65 were based on affinity maturation of clone CD22-12. All three constructs were tested and found to have activity (see Example 25 herein). Based on these observations, a structural genus was designed to encompass the working examples. Thus, in some embodiments, a CD22 binding domain described herein comprises a HCDR3 having a sequence: XRLQDGNSWSDAFDV (SEQ ID NO: 141). In some embodiments, X is any amino acid, any canonical amino acid, a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M), or an acidic amino acid (e.g., D or E).

Furthermore, CAR22-53 and CAR22-57 through CAR22-65 have structural similarities in their CDRs. A structural genus was designed to encompass these working examples. Thus, in some embodiments, a CD22 binding domain described herein comprises a LCDR1 having a sequence: TGX₁X₂X₃DX₄GX₅X₆X₇X₈VS (SEQ ID NO: 1334). In some embodiments, X₁, X₂, X₃, X₄, X₅, X₆, X₇, or X₈, or any combination thereof, is each independently any amino acid, e.g., any canonical amino acid. In some embodiments, X₄ or X₅ or both are each independently a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W) or a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M). In some embodiments, X₆ is an aromatic amino acid (e.g., F, Y, or W). In some embodiments, X₁ is S or T; X₂ is R or S; X₃ is N or S, X₄ is V or I, X₅ is A or G; X₆ is Y or F; X₇ is E or N; or X₈ is S or Y, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, X₁ is S or T; X₂ is R or S; X₃ is N or S, X₄ is V or I, X₅ is A or G; X₆ is Y or F; X₇ is E or N; and X₈ is S or Y.

Similarly, in some embodiments, a CD22 binding domain described herein comprises a LCDR2 having a sequence: X₁VX₂NRPS (SEQ ID NO: 1335). In some embodiments, X₁ or X₂ or both is each independently any amino acid, e.g., any canonical amino acid. In some embodiments, X₁ is an acidic amino acid (e.g., D or E), a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), or a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M). In embodiments, X₂ is a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M), or a polar uncharged amino acid (e.g., S, T, N, or Q). In some embodiments, X₁ is E, G, or D and/or X₂ is N, I, S, or T.

Similarly, in some embodiments, a CD22 binding domain described herein comprises a LCDR3 having a sequence: SSX₁X₂X₃X₄X₅X₆X₇X₈X₉ (SEQ ID NO: 1336). In some embodiments, X₁, X₂, X₃, X₄, X₅, X₆, X₇, or X₈, or any combination thereof, is each independently any amino acid, e.g., any canonical amino acid. In some embodiments, X₁ is an aromatic amino acid (e.g., F, Y, or W) or a positively charged amino acid (e.g., K, R, or H). In some embodiments, X₂ is a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M), or a polar uncharged amino acid (e.g., S, T, N, or Q). In some embodiments, X₃ is a polar uncharged amino acid (e.g., S, T, N, or Q). In some embodiments, X₄ is a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M), or a polar uncharged amino acid (e.g., S, T, N, or Q). In some embodiments, X₅ is a positively charged amino acid (e.g., K, R, or H) or a polar uncharged amino acid (e.g., S, T, N, or Q). In some embodiments, X₆ is a polar uncharged amino acid (e.g., S, T, N, or Q), a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M). In some embodiments, X₇ is a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M) or an aromatic amino acid (e.g., F, Y, or W). In some embodiments, X₈ is absent or an aromatic amino acid (e.g., F, Y, or W). In some embodiments, X₉ is a nonpolar amino acid (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, M, F, or W), a nonpolar amino acid without an aromatic ring (e.g., G, A, V, L, I, P, or M). In some embodiments, X₁ is Y or H, X₂ is A or T, X₃ is S or T; X₄ is G, T, or S, X₅ is R or S, X₆ is T or P, X₇ is L or Y, X₈ is Y or absent, or X₉ is V or I, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, X₁ is Y or H, X₂ is A or T, X₃ is S or T; X₄ is G, T, or S, X₅ is R or S, X₆ is T or P, X₇ is L or Y, X₈ is Y or absent, and X₉ is V or I. The sequences of human CDR sequences of the scFv domains are shown in Table 7A, 7B, or 7C for the heavy chain variable domains and in Table 8A or 8B for the light chain variable domains. “ID” stands for the respective SEQ ID NO for each CDR.

In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a HC CDR1, a HC CDR2, and a HC CDR3 of any heavy chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 9A or 9B. In embodiments, the antigen binding domain further comprises a LC CDR1, a LC CDR2, and a LC CDR3. In embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a LC CDR1, a LC CDR2, and a LC CDR3 of any light chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 10A or 10B.

In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises one, two or all of LC CDR1, LC CDR2, and LC CDR3 of any light chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 10A or 10B, and one, two or all of HC CDR1, HC CDR2, and HC CDR3 of any heavy chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 9A or 9B.

In some embodiments, the CDRs are defined according to the Kabat numbering scheme, the Chothia numbering scheme, or a combination thereof.

The order in which the VL and VH domains appear in the scFv can be varied (i.e., VL-VH, or VH-VL orientation), and where either three or four copies of the “G4S” (SEQ ID NO:18) subunit, in which each subunit comprises the sequence GGGGS (SEQ ID NO:18) (e.g., (G4S)₃ (SEQ ID NO: 107) or (G4S)₄ (SEQ ID NO: 106)), can connect the variable domains to create the entirety of the scFv domain. Alternatively, the CAR construct can include, for example, a linker including the sequence GSTSGSGKPGSGEGSTKG (SEQ ID NO: 1322).

These clones all contained a Q/K residue change in the signal domain of the co-stimulatory domain derived from CD3zeta chain.

CAR20 Constructs

Anti-CD20 single chain variable fragments were isolated. See Table 11A and 11B. Anti-CD20 scFvs were cloned into lentiviral CAR expression vectors with the CD3zeta chain and the 4-1BB costimulatory molecule. CAR-containing plasmids were amplified by bacterial transformation in STBL3 cells, followed by Maxiprep using endotoxin-free Qiagen Plasmid Maki kit. Lentiviral supernatant was produced in 293T cells using standard techniques.

The sequences of the CARs are provided below in Tables 11A and 11B. Additional components of CARs (e.g., leader, hinge, transmembrane, and signalling domains) are described herein.

In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a HC CDR1, a HC CDR2, and a HC CDR3 of any heavy chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 14A or 14B. In embodiments, the antigen binding domain further comprises a LC CDR1, a LC CDR2, and a LC CDR3. In embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises a LC CDR1, a LC CDR2, and a LC CDR3 of any light chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 15A or 15B.

In some embodiments, the antigen binding domain comprises one, two or all of LC CDR1, LC CDR2, and LC CDR3 of any light chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 15A or 15B, and one, two or all of HC CDR1, HC CDR2, and HC CDR3 of any heavy chain binding domain amino acid sequences listed in Table 14A or 14B.

In some embodiments, the CDRs are defined according to the Kabat numbering scheme, the Chothia numbering scheme, or a combination thereof.

CAR123 Constructs

Anti-CD123 single chain variable fragments were isolated. Anti-CD123 scFvs were cloned into lentiviral CAR expression vectors with the CD3zeta chain and the 4-1BB costimulatory molecule. CAR-containing plasmids were amplified by bacterial transformation in STBL3 cells, followed by Maxiprep using endotoxin-free Qiagen Plasmid Maki kit. Lentiviral supernatant was produced in 293T cells using standard techniques.

The sequences of the CARs are provided below in Table 16. Additional components of CARs (e.g., leader, hinge, transmembrane, and signalling domains) are described herein.

The order in which the VL and VH domains appear in the scFv was varied (i.e., VL-VH, or VH-VL orientation), and where either three or four copies of the “G4S” (SEQ ID NO: 18) subunit, in which each subunit comprises the sequence GGGGS (SEQ ID NO:18) (e.g., (G4S)₃ (SEQ ID NO: 107) or (G4S)₄ (SEQ ID NO: 106)), connect the variable domains to create the entirety of the scFv domain.

The sequences of the human CARs are provided below in Table 16.

These clones all contained a Q/K residue change in the signal domain of the co-stimulatory domain derived from CD3zeta chain.

In an embodiment, the B-cell inhibitor comprises a CD123 CAR which comprises an antibody or antibody fragment which includes a CD123 binding domain, wherein said CD123 binding domain comprises one or more of light chain complementary determining region 1 (LC CDR1), light chain complementary determining region 2 (LC CDR2), and light chain complementary determining region 3 (LC CDR3) amino acid sequence listed in Table 24, and one or more of heavy chain complementary determining region 1 (HC CDR1), heavy chain complementary determining region 2 (HC CDR2), and heavy chain complementary determining region 3 (HC CDR3) of any CD123 heavy chain binding domain amino acid sequence listed in Table 23.

Additional description of these CD123 CARs is provided, for instance, in PCT/CN2014/090508, which application incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Human anti-CD123 CAR constructs were evaluated for activity using a Jurkat cell line containing the luciferase reporter driven by the NFAT promoter (termed JNL cells). CD123 CAR activity was measured for four human CAR constructs described herein (CD123 CAR1-4) and murine CD123 CAR constructs 1172 and 1176. CAR activity was measured as activation of this NFAT-driven reporter. Lentiviral supernatants containing the CART constructs were added to JNL cells for transduction. 4-6 days after transduction, JNL cells were either evaluated for CAR expression by FACS as described below or mixed with target-positive (MOLM3, K562 cells engineered to express CD123 (CD123-K562)) or target-negative (K562) cell lines at an effector (JNL) to target cell line (E:T) ratio of 3:1 to trigger activation (FIG. 41). After 20 hours of co-incubation, luciferase signal was measured using the Bright-Glo™ Luciferase Assay on the EnVision instrument as shown in FIGS. 42A, 42B and 42C.

Optimal anti-CD123 CAR constructs were selected based on the quantity and quality of the effector T cell responses of CD123 CAR transduced T cells (“CART-CD123” or “CART-CD123 T cells”) in response to CD123 expressing (“CD123+”) targets. Effector T cell responses include, but are not limited to, cellular expansion, proliferation, doubling, cytokine production and target cell killing or cytolytic activity (degranulation).

Generation of CART-CD123

The human scFv encoding lentiviral transfer vectors were used to produce the genomic material packaged into the VSVg pseudotyped lentiviral particles. Lentiviral transfer vector DNA was mixed with the three packaging components of VSVg, gag/pol and rev in combination with lipofectamine reagent to transfect them together in to Lenti-X 293T cells (Clontech).

After 30 hours, the media was collected, filtered and stored at −80 C. The therapeutic CART-CD123 were generated by starting with the blood from a normal apheresed donor whose naïve T cells were obtained by negative selection for T cells, CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes. These cells were activated by CD3×28 beads (Dynabeads® Human T-Expander CD3/CD28, Invitrogen) at a ratio of 1:3 in RPMI 1640, 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS), 2 mM L-glutamine, lx Penicillin/Streptomycin, 100 μM non-essential amino acids, 1 mM NaPyruvate, 10 mM Hepes, and 55 μM 2-mercaptoethanol at 37° C., 5% C02. T cells were cultured at 1×10⁶ T cells in 0.5 mL medium per well of a 24-well plate. After 24 hours, the T cells was blasting and 0.5 mL of viral supernatant was added. The T cells then began to divide in a logarithmic growth pattern, which was monitored by measuring the cell counts per mL, and T cells were diluted in fresh medium every two days. As the T cells began to rest down after approximately 10 days, the logarithmic growth waned. The combination of slowing growth rate and T cell size approaching ˜300 fl determined the state for T cells to be cryopreserved for later analysis.

Before cryopreserving, percentage of cells transduced (expressing the anti-CD123 CAR on the cell surface) and their relative fluorescence intensity of expression were determined by flow cytometric analysis on a BD LSRFortessa or BD-FACSCanto using Protein L as a detection reagent. Gating histogram plots of relative fluorescent intensity from that FACS for signal above unstained cells demonstrated the percentage of transduced T cells. Transduction resulted in a range of CART positive cells from 12-42% as shown in FIGS. 42A, 42B and 42C.

Evaluating Cytolytic Activity of CART-CD123 Redirected T Cells.

To evaluate the functional abilities of CART-CD123 T cells to kill target expressing cells, the cells were thawed and allowed to recover overnight.

T cell killing was directed towards CD123-expressing MOLM13 acute myelogenous leukemia cell lines stably expressing luciferase. Untransduced T cells were used to determine non-specific background killing levels. The cytolytic activities of CART-CD123 were measured as a titration of effector:target cell ratios of 4:1 and 2-fold downward dilutions of T cells where effectors were defined as T cells expressing the anti-CD123 chimeric receptor. Assays were initiated by mixing an appropriate number of T cells with a constant number of targets cells. After 20 hours luciferase signal was measured using the Bright-Glo™ Luciferase Assay on the EnVision instrument. As the proportion of CD123-CART-expressing cells to untransduced T cells was increased, killing of CD123 cells was similarly increased. The data presented herein suggest that those cells expressing CD123 are destroyed only by CD123-CART-expressing cells and not by untransduced T cells. FIGS. 43A and 43B.

T Cell Transduction

Human anti-human CD123 clones NVS 2 (expressing CAR123-2), NVS 3 (expressing CAR123-3), NVS 4 (expressing CAR123-4) were selected for further study. These clones were all cross-reactive against cynomolgus CD123. Their activity was compared against mouse clones 1172 and 1176, comprising the VH and VL domains in a light-to-heavy orientation with a CD8 hinge domain, CD8 transmembrane domain, and 41BB-costimulatory domain. 1176 is also cross-reactive against cynomolgus CD123. 1172 is not.

Plasmids were transformed into competent cells, grown in 500 cc broth, isolated by maxiprep, and transduced using standard methods into 293T cells. Lentiviral supernatant was collected at 24 and 48 hours, concentrated using ultracentrifugation, and frozen.

The lentivirus was titered on SupT cells and the appropriate amount of virus was determined for a transduction of primary T cells at a MOI of 3. Primary normal donor CD4+CD8 cells were stimulated using anti-CD3/CD28 beads (Dynal, Invitrogen) and interleukin-2 100U/ml for 6 days, followed by debeading and were and frozen once. The T cell cellular volume decreased to <300 fL (after approximately 10-12 days).

T cell transduction efficiency was virtually 100% for all clones (FIGS. 44A and 44B). CD4:CD8 ratios were approximately 1:1 in the NVS clones, and 3:2 in the 1172 and 1176 clones (FIG. 45).

Degranulation

To assess degranulation, CART cells (NVS 2-4, 1172 and 1176 clones) were thawed, rested overnight at a concentration of 2e⁶ cells/ml in T cell media. Cells were then counted and resuspended at 1e⁶ cells/ml the following day. Tumor target cells (TCM, PMA/iono, MOLM14 or JURKAT) were resuspended at 5e⁶ cells/ml. Cells were plated at a ratio of 1e⁵ T cell:5e⁵ tumor cell in 48 well plates and incubated for 2 hours in the presence of anti-CD107a PECy7, anti-CD49d purified, and anti-CD28 purified antibodies. Cells were then harvested, stained with anti-CD3 APC and acquired using BD LSR Fortessa (FIGS. 46A, 46B and 46C).

T cell degranulation is indicated in the upper right quadrant of each plot of FIGS. 46A, 46B and 46C. The results presented herein demonstrate similar T cell recognition of CD123+ targets, manifested by similar degranulation during a 2-hr in vitro assay. C1176 had inferior degranulation of 65% compared with approximately 80% in the other clones.

Cytotoxicity

To assess cytotoxicity, CART cells (NVS 2-4, 1172 and 1176 clones) were thawed and rested overnight at 2e⁶ cells/ml in T cell media. Cells were counted and resuspended at 1e⁶ cells/ml the following day. Tumor target cells (MOLM14) were resuspended at 1e⁶ cells/ml. Cells were plated in a black, flat-bottom 96 well plate at decreasing E:T ratios as indicated (FIG. 47), in duplicate. After 20 hours of incubation, luciferin was added and the plate was imaged to determine photon flux as a measure of residual live cells. Killing of MOLM14 cells was equivalent between all clones at most effector:target ratios at 20 hours.

In Vivo Mouse Model

NSG mice were injected iv with 1e⁶ luciferase expressing MOLM14 cells on D0. On D6 mice were imaged (IVIS Spectrum) for tumor burden and randomized into treatment groups. Mice with the lowest tumor burden were assigned to the control group (untransduced T cells, UTD). CART cells (NVS 2-4, 1172 and 1176 clones) or control T cells (1e6) were injected i.v. on D7. Data from imaging on performed D13 is shown in FIG. 48. Six days after injection, all anti-CD123 constructs provided equal anti-tumor effect, consistent with in vitro data.

Humanized anti-CD123 single chain variable fragments (scFv) based on murine 1176 which is cross-reactive against cynomolgus CD123 are generated and cloned into a lentiviral expression vector with the intracellular CD3zeta chain and the intracellular co-stimulatory domain of 4-1BB.

The order in which the VL and VH domains appear in the scFv was varied (i.e., VL-VH, or VH-VL orientation), and where either three or four copies of the “G4S” (SEQ ID NO:18) subunit, in which each subunit comprises the sequence GGGGS (SEQ ID NO:18) (e.g., (G4S)₃ (SEQ ID NO: 107) or (G4S)₄ (SEQ ID NO: 106)), connect the variable domains to create the entirety of the scFv domain, as shown in Table 25.

The sequences of the humanized CARs are provided below in Table 25.

These clones all contained a Q/K residue change in the signal domain of the co-stimulatory domain derived from CD3zeta chain.

In some embodiments, the CAR123 has a HCDR3 having the sequence

(SEQ ID NO: 1529) YCARGNWDDY.

The CAR scFv fragments were then cloned into lentiviral vectors to create a full length CAR construct in a single coding frame, and using the EF1 alpha promoter for expression.

Bispecific CAR19/CAR22 Constructs and Function Thereof

This section describes the production and function of bispecific CAR19/CAR22 constructs. Two bispecific scFv tandem fusions were designed: antiCD22 (HL)4G4S-antiCD19 (LH) and antiCD19-4G4S-antiCD22. The designation (HL) indicates that the heavy chain variable region is upstream of the light chain region within the indicated scFv, and the designation (LH) indicates that the light chain variable region is upstream of the heavy chain region within the indicated scFv. The anti-CD22 base molecule is hCD22-2, and uses the HL orientation. The anti-CD19 base molecule is a humanized anti-CD19 sequence, provided herein as construct ID 104876 of Table 2, which uses the LH orientation. The constructs are illustrated schematically in FIG. 13.

The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of both bispecific constructs, as well as the scFv portions thereof, are given below in Table 28.

EXAMPLES

The invention is further described in detail by reference to the following experimental examples. These examples are provided for purposes of illustration only, and are not intended to be limiting unless otherwise specified. Thus, the invention should in no way be construed as being limited to the following examples, but rather, should be construed to encompass any and all variations which become evident as a result of the teaching provided herein.

Without further description, it is believed that one of ordinary skill in the art can, using the preceding description and the following illustrative examples, make and utilize the compounds of the present invention and practice the claimed methods. The following working examples specifically point out various aspects of the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting in any way the remainder of the disclosure.

Example 1: CD19 CAR T Cells for Use in Treating Multiple Myeloma

Even with current regimens of chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and autologous stem cell transplant, myeloma is considered an incurable disease. The present example describes treating multiple myeloma (MM) with autologous T cells directed to CD19 with a chimeric antigen receptor (lentivirus/CD19:4-1BB:CD3zeta; also known as “CART19” or CTL019). This example demonstrates that CD19-directed CAR therapies have the potential to establish deep, long-term durable remissions based on targeting the myeloma stem cell and/or tumor cells that express very low (undetectable by most methods) levels of CD19.

In treating a patient with an aggressive secondary plasma cell leukemia, we found that CART19 administered two days after a salvage autologous stem cell transplant resulted in rapid clearance of plasma cell leukemia and a very good partial response in a patient who had progressed through multiple lines of chemotherapy. This patient was transfusion-dependent for months prior to the treatment; at two months after the treatment, she has recovered her blood counts (with normal-range platelet counts and white blood cell counts) and has not required transfusions since she was discharged from the hospital from her treatment.

Because myeloma cells do not naturally express CD19, the finding that CART19 treatment induced a rapid and significant tumor response in this tumor was surprising. Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, it was reasoned that CART19 could be used to treat myeloma because: (1) while myeloma cells are traditionally thought to be negative for CD19 expression by flow cytometry, there are data indicating that myeloma cells may express very low levels of CD19, such that expression is detectable by RNA but not by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry; and (2) the concept of targeting the clonotypic B cell, which is thought to be the cancerous stem cell that gives rise to multiple myeloma, and is particularly resistant to chemotherapy. There is a clonal relationship between B cells and myeloma tumor cells, but traditional myeloma therapy is aimed at the malignant plasma cells rather than B cells. CART19 for treating myeloma therefore targets a different cell population than most myeloma therapies.

In our single patient experience, the patient had circulating plasma cells, and we were able to test her tumor cells for the expression of CD19. Approximately 1-2% of her tumor cells expressed the CD19 antigen. Thus, it was reasoned that CART19 may have a direct effect on a very small population of her tumor cells; a very good partial response, though would not have been predicted based on targeting only the very small population of CD19+ tumor cells.

In this case, CART19 was administered following autologous stem cell transplant rescue after high-dose melphalan. Although this is a standard therapy in myeloma, it is not curative. Furthermore, this patient had previously undergone tandem autologous stem cell transplants and relapsed early (<6 months) after transplant. Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, use of CART19 cells as described in the present example may have a non-overlapping mechanism in the treatment of myeloma when combined with a salvage autologous stem cell transplant.

Ten additional multiple myeloma patients will be treated with CART19 in a Phase I trial, and at least three patients have been treated to date.

Dose Rationale and Risks/Benefits

We have chosen to use flat dosing via the intravenous route of administration for this protocol. The primary objective of this protocol was to test the safety and feasibility of administering CART-19 cells to patients with multiple myeloma. The primary toxicities that were anticipated are (I) cytokine release when the CARs encounter their surrogate CD19 antigen on malignant or normal B cells; (2) depletion of normal B cells, similar to rituximab therapy; (3) steroid-responsive skin and gastrointestinal syndromes resembling graft-versus-host disease as has been seen previously when expanded/costimulated autologous T-cells have been coupled with ASCT for MM. A theoretical concern was whether transformation or uncontrolled proliferation of the CART-19 T cells might occur in response to high levels of CD19. This was less a concern in this application compared to another study of CLL patients, as the burden of clonotypic B-cells in MM is expected to be far lower than the burden of malignant B-cells in the refractory CLL patients treated on that study.

Dose Rationale

With the first 3 patients, we have observed clinical activity at doses ranging from 1.4×10⁷ to 1.1×10⁹ CART-19 cells. This observation demonstrates, at least in the first 3 patients treated, that there is not an obvious dose response relationship. A complete response was observed in patients administered with two log fold difference in dose. Thus, unlike standard drugs that are metabolized, CAR T cells can have a wide dose response range. This is most likely because the CAR T cells are able to proliferate extensively in the patients. We therefore set a dose range of 1-5×10⁸ CART-19 cells for infusion. In this single-patient study offered on a compassionate use basis, the patient was offered up to 5×10⁸ CART19 cells, with no lower dose limit. For the ten patient trial, patients will be offered 1-5×10⁷ CART-19 cells.

General Design

This was single patient-study offered on a compassionate use basis; it was modeled after a Phase I study to determine if the infusion of autologous T cells transduced to express CART-19 is safe. The primary goals of the study were to determine the safety, tolerability and engraftment potential of CART-19 T cells in patients undergoing salvage ASCT after early relapse following first ASCT. The protocol consists of an open label pilot study.

At entry subjects will undergo a bone marrow biopsy and routine laboratory and imaging assessment of their MM. Eligible subjects will undergo steady-state apheresis to obtain large numbers of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) for CART-19 manufacturing. The T cells will be purified from the PBMC, transduced with TCRζ/4-1BB lentiviral vector, expanded in vitro and then frozen for future administration. The number of patients who have inadequate T cell collections, expansion or manufacturing compared to the number of patients who have T cells successfully manufactured will be recorded; feasibility of product manufacturing is not expected to be problematic in this patient population.

Subjects will generally have had adequate peripheral blood stem cells remaining stored from the mobilization/collection performed in preparation for their first ASCT to conduct two additional ASCT. Those who do not will undergo a second mobilization/collection procedure either before or after their steady-state apheresis with a regimen according to the treating physician's preference. Approximately two weeks after the initial leukapheresis, subjects will be admitted to the hospital and receive high-dose melphalan (day −2) followed by infusion of autologous stem cells two days later (day 0), and all subjects will receive infusion of CART-19 cells twelve to fourteen days later (day +12-14). Up to 10 patients will be enrolled.

All subjects will have blood tests to assess safety, and engraftment and persistence of the CART-19 cells at regular intervals through week 4 of the study. At day +42 and day +100, subjects will undergo bone marrow aspirates/biopsies to assess the bone marrow plasma cell burden and trafficking of CART-19 cells to the bone marrow. A formal response assessment will be made at day 100 according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria 136, and TTP will be monitored according to routine clinical practice for patients with multiple myeloma. The main efficacy outcome measured in this study will be a comparison of TTP after a patient's initial ASCT to TTP after the ASCT on this study.

As the primary endpoint of this study is safety and feasibility of infusion of CART-19 cells with ASCT, the study will employ an early stopping rule. Briefly, if less than 2 severe, unexpected adverse events occur among the first five subjects treated, the study will then accrue an additional five subjects towards a target enrollment of 10. We will observe treated subjects for 40 days after CART-19 infusion (i.e., through the first official response assessment at day 42) before enrolling a subsequent subject until five subjects have been enrolled and so observed. For treatment of the second group of five patients, no waiting period will be required between subjects.

Following the 6 months of intensive follow-up, subjects will be evaluated at least quarterly for two years with a medical history, physical examination, and blood tests. Following this evaluation, subjects will enter a roll-over study for annual follow-up by phone and questionnaire for up to additional thirteen years to assess for the diagnosis of long-term health problems, such as development of new malignancy.

Primary Study Endpoints

This pilot trial is designed to test the safety and feasibility of the autologous T cells transduced with the CD19 TCRζ/4-1BB in patients undergoing salvage ASCT for MM following early relapse after first ASCT.

Primary Safety and Feasibility Endpoints Include:

Occurrence of study-related adverse events, defined as NCJ CTC 2: grade 3 signs/symptoms, laboratory toxicities and clinical events that are possibly, likely or definitely related to study treatment at any time from the infusion until week 24. This will include infusional toxicity and any toxicity possibly related to the CART-19 cells including but not limited to:

a. Fevers

b. Rash

c. Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, marrow aplasia

d. Hepatic dysfunction

e. Pulmonary infiltrates or other pulmonary toxicity

f. GVHD-like syndromes affecting gastrointestinal tract or skin.

Feasibility to manufacture CART-19 cells from patient apheresis products. The number of manufactured products that do not meet release criteria for vector transduction efficiency, T cell purity, viability, sterility and tumor contamination will be determined.

The depth and duration of response following autologous stem cell transplant with CART19 will be compared to the depth and duration of response that each patient initially achieved following standard autologous stem cell transplant.

Subject Selection and Withdrawal

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must have undergone a prior ASCT for MM and have progressed within 365 days of stem cell infusion. Subjects who have undergone two prior ASCTs as part of a planned tandem ASCT consolidation regimen are eligible. Progression will be defined according to IMWG criteria for progressive disease or, for patients who attained CR or sCR after initial ASCT, criteria for relapse from CR (Durie et al. Leukemia 2006; 20(9):1467-1473). N.B.: There is no requirement that patients must enroll within 365 days of prior ASCT, and patients may be treated with other agents, including experimental agents, following relapse/progression after prior ASCT before enrollment on this study.

Subjects must have signed written, informed consent.

Subjects must have adequate vital organ function to receive high-dose melphalan as defined by the following criteria, measured within 12 weeks prior to the date of melphalan infusion: a. Serum creatinine≤2.5 or estimated creatinine clearance≥30 ml/min and not dialysis-dependent. b. SGOT≤3× the upper limit of normal and total bilirubin≤2.0 mg/dl (except for patients in whom hyperbilirubinemia is attributed to Gilbert's syndrome). c.

LVEF assessment must have been performed within six weeks of enrollment. d. Adequate pulmonary function with FEV1, FVC, TLC, DLCO (after appropriate adjustment for lung volume and hemoglobin concentration)≥40% of predicted values. Pulmonary function testing must have been performed within six weeks of enrollment.

Subjects must have an ECOG performance status of 0-2, unless a higher performance status is due solely to bone pain.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects must not:

Have any active and uncontrolled infection.

Have active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV infection.

Any uncontrolled medical disorder that would preclude participation as outlined.

Treatment Regimen

Therapy for Relapsed/Progressive Multiple Myeloma

Patients may receive, prior to enrollment, therapy for relapsed/progressive multiple myeloma according to the preference of their treating physicians. Therapy may continue upon enrollment.

Patients must stop all therapy for two weeks prior to apheresis and for two weeks prior to high-dose melphalan. If more than two weeks are expected to lapse between apheresis and high-dose melphalan, patients may resume therapy after apheresis at the discretion of their treating physicians.

High-Dose Melphalan (Day −2)

Patients will be admitted to the hospital on day −3 or −2 and will undergo examination by the attending physician and routine laboratory tests, which will include monitoring parameters for tumor lysis syndrome, prior to commencement of the treatment protocol. Blood for MM monitoring laboratory tests (SPEP, quantitative immunoglobulins, and serum free light chain analysis), will be drawn prior to initiation of therapy if such tests had not been drawn within 7 days of admission.

High-dose therapy will consist of melphalan at a dose of 200 mg/m² administered intravenously over approximately 20 minutes on day −2. The dose of melphalan will be reduced to 140 mg/m² for patients>70 years of age or for patients of any age whom, at the discretion of the treating physician, may not tolerate a dose of 200 mg/m² All patients will receive standard anti-emetic prophylaxis, which may include dexamethasone, and standard antibiotic prophylaxis.

Stem-Cell Re-Infusion (Day 0)

Stem cell infusion will take place on day 0, at least 18 hours after the administration of the high-dose melphalan. Stem cells will be infused intravenously over approximately 20-60 minutes following premedication according to standard institutional practice. At least 2×10⁶ CD34+ progenitors/kg body weight should be infused. In addition, at least 1×10⁶ CD34+ progenitors/kg body weight should be available as a back-up stem-cell product to be infused in the event of delayed engraftment or late graft failure. G-CSF should be administered SQ beginning on day +5, dosed according to standard institutional practice. Other supportive care measures such as transfusion support will be done in accordance with standard institutional guidelines.

CART19 Cell Infusion (Day +12-14)

A single dose of CART-19 transduced T cells will be given consisting of up to 5×10⁷ CART-19 cells. The minimal acceptable dose for infusion of cells transduced with the CD19 TCRζ4-1BB vector in this single-patient protocol is 1×10⁷. CART-19 cells will be given as a single dose by rapid i.v. infusion on day +12-14 after stern cell infusion. If patient fails to meet any of the inclusion criteria described herein in the 12-14 day window, the CART-19 infusion may be delayed beyond day +12-14 until the criteria is satisfied.

Maintenance Lenalidomide

Subjects who received and tolerated maintenance lenalidomide after their first ASCT will re-initiate lenalidomide maintenance therapy at approximately day +100, assuming there are no contraindications in the judgment of the treating physician. The starting dose will be 10 mg daily unless prior experience dictates an alternative starting dose for a particular patient. Maintenance therapy will continue until disease progression or intolerance.

Preparation and Administration of Study Drug

The CART-19 T cells are prepared in the CVPF and are not released from the CVPF until FDA approved release criteria for the infused cells (e.g., cell dose, cell purity, sterility, average copy number of vectors/cell, etc.) are met. Upon release, the cells are taken to the bedside for administration.

Cell thawing. The frozen cells will be transported in dry ice to the subject's bedside. The cells will be thawed at the bedside using a water bath maintained at 36° C. to 38° C. The bag will be gently massaged until the cells have just thawed. There should be no frozen clumps left in the container. If the CART-19 cell product appears to have a damaged or the bag to be leaking, or otherwise appears to be compromised, it should not be infused and should be returned to the CVPF as specified below.

Premedication. Side effects following T cell infusions include transient fever, chills, and/or nausea; see Cruz et al. for review (Cytotherapy 2010; 12(6):743-749). It is recommended that the subject be pre-medicated with acetaminophen and diphenhydramine hydrochloride prior to the infusion of CART-19 cells. These medications may be repeated every six hours as needed. A course of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication may be prescribed if the patient continues to have fever not relieved by acetaminophen. It is recommended that patients not receive systemic corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone, prednisone, methylprednisolone or dexamethasone at any time, except in the case of a life-threatening emergency, since this may have an adverse effect on T cells.

Febrile reaction. In the unlikely event that the subject develops sepsis or systemic bacteremia following CAR T cell infusion, appropriate cultures and medical management should be initiated. If a contaminated CART-19 T cell product is suspected, the product can be retested for sterility using archived samples that are stored in the CVPF.

Administration. The infusion will take place in an isolated room in Rhoads, using precautions for immunosuppressed patients. The transduced T cells will be administered by rapid intravenous infusion at a flow rate of approximately 10 mL to 20 ml per minute through an 18-gauge latex free Y-type blood set with a 3-way stopcock. The duration of the infusion will be based on the total volume to be infused and the recommended infusion rate. Each infusion bag will have affixed to it a label containing the following: “FOR AUTOLOGOUS USE ONLY.” In addition the label will have at least two unique identifiers such as the subject's initials, birth date, and study number. Prior to the infusion, two individuals will independently verify all this information in the presence of the subject and so confirm that the information is correctly matched to the participant.

Emergency medical equipment (i.e., emergency trolley) will be available during the infusion in case the subject has an allergic response, or severe hypotensive crisis, or any other reaction to the infusion. Vital signs (temperature, respiration rate, pulse, and blood pressure) will be taken before and after infusion, then every 15 minutes for at least one hour and until these signs are satisfactory and stable. The subject will be asked not to leave until the physician considers it is safe for him or her to do so.

Packaging

Infusion will be comprised of a single dose of 1-5×10⁷ CART19-transduced cells, with a minimal acceptable dose of 1×10⁷ CART-19 cells for infusion. Each bag will contain an aliquot (volume dependent upon dose) of cryomedia containing the following infusible grade reagents (% v/v): 31.25% plasmalyte-A, 31.25% dextrose (5%), 0.45% NaCl, up to 7.5% DMSO, 1% dextran 40, 5% human serum albumin.

Apheresis

A large volume (12-15 liters or 4-6 blood volumes) apheresis procedure is carried out at the apheresis center. PBMC are obtained for CART-19 during this procedure. From a single leukapheresis, the intention is to harvest at least 5×10⁹ white blood cells to manufacture CART-19 T cells. Baseline blood leukocytes for FDA look-back requirements and for research are also obtained and cryopreserved. The cell product is expected to be ready for release approximately 2-4 weeks later. Flow cytometry lymphocyte subset quantitation, including CD19 and CD20 B cell determination. Baseline assessment is made for human anti-VSV-G and anti-murine antibody (HAMA). If a subject has previously had an adequate apheresis collection banked according to current Good Manufacturing Practices at the Clinical Cell and Vaccine Production Facility these cells may be used as the source of cells for CART-19 manufacturing. Using a banked apheresis product would avert the expense, time, and risk to the subject of undergoing an additional apheresis collection.

Cytoreductive Chemotherapy

The lymphodepleting chemotherapy will be high-dose melphalan as described herein.

CART-19 Infusion

Infusion will begin on day +12-14 after stem-cell reinfusion.

On day +12-14 prior to the first infusion, patients will have a CBC with differential, and assessment of CD3, CD4 and CD8 counts since chemotherapy is given in part to induce lymphopenia.

The first dose will be administered using a single dose. The cells are thawed at the patient's bedside. The thawed cells will be given at as rapid an infusion rate as tolerated such that the duration of the infusion will be approximately 10-15 minutes. In order to facilitate mixing, the cells will be administered simultaneously using a Y-adapter. Subjects will be infused and premedicated as described herein. Subjects' vital signs will be assessed and pulse oxymetry done prior to dosing, at the end of the infusion, and every 15 minutes thereafter for 1 hour and until these are stable and satisfactory. A blood sample for determination of a baseline CART-19 level is obtained any time prior to the first infusion and 20 minutes to 4 hours after each infusion (and sent to TCSL).

Patients experiencing toxicities related to high-dose melphalan will have their infusion schedule delayed until these toxicities have resolved. The specific toxicities warranting delay of T cell infusions include: 1) Pulmonary: Requirement for supplemental oxygen to keep saturation greater than 95% or presence of radiographic abnormalities on chest x-ray that are progressive; 2) Cardiac: New cardiac arrhythmia not controlled with medical management 3) Hypotension requiring vasopressor support. 4) Active Infection: Positive blood cultures for bacteria, fungus, or virus within 48-hours of T cell infusion.

Management of Toxicity

Uncontrolled T cell proliferation. Toxicity associated with allogeneic or autologous T cell infusions has been managed with a course of pharmacologic immunosuppression. T body associated toxicity has been reported to respond to systemic corticosteroids. If uncontrolled T cell proliferation occurs (grade 3 or 4 toxicity related to CART-19 cells), subjects may be treated with corticosteroids. Subjects will be treated with pulse methylprednisolone (2 mg/kg i.v. divided q8 hr×2 days), followed by a rapid taper.

In addition, based on the observations of subjects treated on another protocol, there is some concern for macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), though the CD19+ tumor burden is expected to be much lower in patients with myeloma than in patients with CLL. Treatment and timing of treatment of this toxicity will be at the discretion of the patient's physician and the study investigator. Suggested management might include: if the subject has a fever greater than 101° F. that lasts more than 2 consecutive days and there is no evidence of infection (negative blood cultures, CXR or other source), tocilizumab 4 mg/kg can be considered. The addition of corticosteroids and anti-TNF therapy can be considered at the physician's discretion.

B cell depletion. It is possible that B cell depletion and hypogammaglobulinemia will occur. This is common with anti-CD20 directed therapies. In the event of clinically significant hypogammaglobulinemia (i.e. systemic infections), subjects will be given intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) by established clinical dosing guidelines to restore normal levels of serum immunoglobulin levels, as has been done with Rituximab.

Primary graft failure. Primary graft failure (i.e., non-engraftment) may be more common after second ASCT compared to first ASCT. Eligibility criteria stipulate that sufficient stem cells must be available for rescue reinfusion at the discretion of the treating physician in the event of primary graft failure.

Results

Three treatment-refractory, advanced multiple myeloma patients have now been treated with CTL019 in this ongoing trial. Results for two of these patients show that both have had substantial anti-tumor effects from the CTL019 therapy based on the primary efficacy assessment at the three-month time-point. The third patient has not yet reached the three-month time point. The results for the two patients are described in more detail below.

The first myeloma patient has completed her +100 day response assessment and she had a very good response to the CART19 therapy. The following tests were performed with the following results:

-   -   SPEP/immunofixation: negative     -   urine immunofixation: faint unmeasurable kappa light chain band         on her immunofixation (also present at day 38, so not new)         Otherwise, the patient meets the criteria for stringent complete         remission including:     -   serum free light chain ratio: normal     -   bone marrow biopsy: negative     -   IgA immunophenotyping: IgA is below the limit of detection

Other than the faint unmeasurable kappa light chain result from urine immunofixation, the patient met all criteria for “stringent complete remission”. The summary of the plasma cell immunophenotyping at 3 time points (day −2, day +38, day +103) is shown in FIG. 8, and demonstrates that the patient's IgA is below the limit of detection. The summary shows heavy myeloma burden at day −2 and none detectable at day +38 and +103, which classifies the patient as “MRD negative” by flow analysis. At day +103, the summary shows recovery of normal, polyclonal, CD19+ plasma cells and B cells. The patient had no symptoms of disease or therapy and is functioning like a normal person.

The second patient treated has not yet reached the +100 day time point. However, at this time point, she is doing well but it is too early to determine the effect of the CTL019 infusion.

Example 2: CAR19 T Cell Therapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma

CAR19 T cell therapy can also be used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Hodgkin lymphoma is characterized by the presence of malignant Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells that are derived from clonal germinal center B cells. There are several factors that indicate the therapeutic efficacy of CAR19 T cell therapy for HL. CD19 staining of HL tumors shows CD19-expressing (CD19⁺) cells within the tumor and tumor microenvironment (FIG. 2). A study has shown that a clonal B cell population (CD20⁺CD27⁺ALDH⁺) that expresses CD19 is responsible for the generation and maintenance of Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines, and also circulates in the blood of most HL patients (Jones et al., Blood, 2009, 113(23):5920-5926). This clonal B cell population has also been suggested to give rise to or contribute to the generation of the malignant HRS cells. Thus, CART19 therapy would deplete this B cell population that contributes to tumorigenesis or maintenance of tumor cells. Another study showed that B cell depletion retards solid tumor growth in multiple murine models (Kim et al., J Immunotherapy, 2008, 31(5):446-57). In support of the idea that depletion of B cells in the HL tumor microenvironment results in some anti-tumor effect, current therapies, such as rituxan, are being clinically tested for targeting and depletion of tumoral B cells in HL (Younes et al., Blood, 2012, 119(18):4123-8). De novo carcinogenesis related to chronic inflammation has also been shown to be B-cell dependent (de Visser, et al., Cancer Cell, 2005, 7(5):411-23). The results from these studies indicate that targeting of the B cell population, particularly in the HL tumor microenvironment, would be useful for treating HL, by reducing or inhibiting disease progression or tumor growth.

In addition, normal CD19-expressing B cells also infiltrate the tumor microenvironment in HL. Previous studies with CART19 therapy in CLL and ALL (e.g., described in Examples 4 and 5) show that CART19 exposure to CD19+ targets leads to cytokine production and macrophage production. Thus, modulation of the HL tumor microenvironment from a pro-tumor microenvironment to an anti-tumor microenvironment can be achieved by infusing CART19 to interact with normal CD19+ B cells present in the HL. For example, CART19 exposure to CD19-expressing targets causes cytokine production, e.g., inflammatory cytokines, that promote anti-tumor activity through the expansion of cytotoxic T cells, activation of macrophages, and recruitment of other immune effector cells with various functions that inhibit tumor growth, such as leukocytes, macrophages, and antigen-presenting cells. Because the target CD19+ B cells may not be malignant (e.g., normally circulating B cells), a transient rather than protracted CART19 effect may be preferred for modulation of the tumor microenvironment.

A study to examine the therapeutic efficacy of CART19 therapy in HL patients can be performed as described below (FIG. 3). The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of CART19 in HL subjects, and determine the effect of CART19 cells on the HL tumor microenvironment.

8 patients with classical HL are treated in this study. Patients are of all ages, though separate protocols for drug delivery can be established for pediatric and adult patients. Patients in this study have no available potentially curative treatment options (such as autologous (ASCT) or allogeneic stem cell transplantation), or are not suitable for such curative treatment options. For example, patients can be any of the following: PET+ after salvage chemotherapy, PET+ after treatment with brentuximab, or PET+ after ASCT with or without prior brentuximab exposure. The patients will have a limited prognosis (several months to less than or equal to 2 year expected survival) with currently available therapies. And finally, the patients will not have received anti-CD20 antibody therapy. Patients are excluded due to lack of feasibility, e.g., if the patient has insufficient numbers of T cells for 6 infusions of CART19.

An mRNA CAR19 is produced by in vitro transcription. The CAR19 mRNA is electroporated into donor T cells, and the resulting cells are expanded and stimulated by incubation with CD3/CD28 beads. Dosages containing 1×10⁸-5×10⁸ RNA-electroporated CAR19 T cells are delivered to the patient three times a week for two weeks (e.g., at day 0, 2, 4, 7, 9 and 11). The overall response rate will be assessed by clinical, CT, and PET scanning at 1 month after treatment. Response and survival will be monitored monthly for the first 6 months, then every 3 months until 2 years after the first CART19 infusion (day 0). Monitoring techniques include biopsy of the tumor or lymph node (e.g., for immunohistochemical analysis and/or RNA for gene expression profiling) and PET scanning before and after CART19 treatment. For example, the effect of the CART19 cells on the HL tumor microenvironment are analyzed by comparing the results of gene expression profiling performed on accessible lymph node biopsies from selected patients before treatment and approximately one week after treatment (or the appropriate time after treatment to allow for alteration of cellular phenotype). To assess the safety and tolerability of CART19 treatment, the frequency and severity of adverse events are reported, including the frequency of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).

Chemotherapy may be administered concurrently with CART19 treatment. The first dose of CART19 can be preceded by lymphodepleting chemotherapy, e.g., cytoxan.

Example 3: Non-Responder Subset of CLL Patients Exhibit Increased Expression of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Molecules

In this study, CART19 cells from clinical manufacture from 34 CLL patients were assessed for expression of immune checkpoint inhibitor molecules, such as PD-1, LAG3, and TIM3. The response of this cohort to CART19 was known and hence a correlation between response and biomarker expression patterns could be assessed.

Manufactured CART19 cells from CLL patients with different responses to CART therapy were analyzed by flow cytometry to determine the expression of CAR and the immune checkpoint inhibitor molecules PD-1, LAG3, and TIM3. The CART19 cells were from: healthy donors (HD) (n=2); CLL patients that responded to CART therapy (CR) (n=5); CLL patients that partially responded to CART therapy (PR) (n=8); CLL patients that did not respond to CART therapy (NR) (n=21). Cells were stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies that specifically recognize CD3, CD4, CD8, CD27, CD45RO, the CAR19 molecule, and immune checkpoint molecules PD-1, LAG3, and TIM3, according to standard methods for flow cytometry analysis known in the art. Expression of each marker, e.g., CD4+, CD8+, etc., was determined by flow cytometry analysis software, and subpopulations (e.g., CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, or CAR19-expressing T cells) were further analyzed for the expression of immune checkpoint molecules PD-1, LAG3, and TIM3.

An example of the flow cytometry profiles analysis used to determine surface marker expression is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. T cells expressing CD4 were determined using flow cytometry, and were further analyzed for CAR19 and PD-1 expression, such that the x-axis of the profiles indicate CAR19 expression (the top left (Q5) and bottom left (Q8) quadrants show the CAR19-negative CD4+ cells, while the top right (Q6) and bottom right (Q7) quadrants show the CAR19-expressing CD4+ cells) and the y-axis shows PD-1 expression (the bottom left (Q8) and right (Q7) quadrants show the PD-1 negative CD4+ cells and the top left (Q5) and right (Q6) quadrants show the PD-1-expressing CD4+ cells). In the CD4+ population from a CART responder, 44.7% of the CD4+ cells overall expressed PD-1, and about 22.3% of the CAR19-expressing cells were PD-1 positive, while 27.2% of CAR19-expressing cells were PD-1 negative (FIG. 4A). In contrast, in the CD4+ population from a non-responder, there was a significant decrease in CAR19-expressing cells overall (about 15.3% compared to the 49.5% in CR), with 14.7% of the CAR19-expressing cells being PD-1 positive while only 0.64% were PD-1 negative (FIG. 4B). Comparison between the profiles in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B shows that a much higher percentage of the CD4+ cells from a non-responder express PD-1 (about 92.9%) compared to the CART responder (about 44.7%).

Using the methods and analysis described above, the percentage of PD-1 expressing (PD-1+) cells of the CD4+ population and the CD8+ population was determined for each patient in each response group. Non-responders were shown to have a greater percentage of PD-1+ cells in both the CD4+ (FIG. 4C) and CD8+ (FIG. 4D) populations compared to those that responded to CAR therapy (CR); the increase of average PD-1 percentage was statistically significant for both CD4+ and CD8+ populations. Partial responders (PR) exhibited higher percentages of PD-1+ cells than responders (CR) in both CD4+ (FIG. 4C) and CD8+ (FIG. 4D) populations.

Next, the percentage of PD-1 expressing (PD-1+) cells of the CAR19-expressing CD4+ population and the CAR19-expressing CD8+ population was determined for each patient in each response group. Similar analysis was performed as above, with the additional step of analyzing the CD4+ and CD8+ cells for CAR19-expression, and after identification of the CAR19-expressing cells, determining the percentage of cells with PD-1 expression from the populations of CAR19-expressing cells. A similar trend as that observed in the CD4+ and CD8+ overall populations was observed for the CAR19 expressing CD4+ and CD8+ populations: non-responders were shown to have a greater percentage of PD-1+ cells in both the CD4+ (FIG. 5A) and CD8+ (FIG. 5B) populations compared to those that responded to CAR therapy (CR); the increase of average PD-1 percentage was statistically significant for both CD4+ and CD8+ populations. Partial responders (PR) exhibited higher percentages of PD-1+ cells than responders (CR) in both CD4+ (FIG. 5A) and CD8+ (FIG. 5B) populations.

Further analysis was performed to determine the distribution of cells expressing PD-1, LAG3, and TIM3 from patients with different responses to CAR therapy. Representative cell profile analysis for PD-1, LAG3, and TIM3 expression in the CD4+ population is shown in FIG. 6. The cell populations were first analyzed for CD4+ and CD8+ expression. The CD4+ population (or CD8+ population, not shown) was then analyzed for PD-1 and CAR19 expression (FIG. 6, left profiles). As described previously, non-responders (NR) had a significantly increased percentage of cells that were PD-1+ overall compared to CART responders (CR) (about 92.9% PD-1 positive for NR compared to 44.7% PD-1 positive for CR). Moreover, in non-responders, CAR19-expressing cells were mostly PD-1 positive (14.7% PD-1 positive and CAR+ compared to 0.64% PD-1 negative and CAR+). Then the populations were analyzed for PD-1 and LAG3 co-expression (FIG. 6, middle profiles). Cells that expressed both PD-1 and LAG3 are shown in the top right quadrant (Q2). Non-responders had a significantly increased percentage of cells that expressed both immune checkpoint inhibitors, PD-1 and LAG3, compared to CART responders (67.3% compared to 7.31%). PD-1 expression was also analyzed with TIM3 expression. In FIG. 6, right profiles, the box indicates the cells that express both PD-1 and TIM3. Similar to the results obtained with PD-1 and LAG3, the non-responders had a significantly higher percentage of cells that expressed both immune checkpoint inhibitors, PD-1 and TIM3, compared to CART responders (83.3% compared to 28.5%). The percentage of PD-1 expressing cells (PD1+), PD-1 and LAG3-expressing cells (PD1+LAG3+), and PD-1 and TIM3-expressing cells (PD1+TIM3+) was determined for each patient in each response group using the flow cytometry analysis as described above. Non-responders were shown to have an increased percentage of PD1+ LAG3+ cells (FIG. 7A) and PD1+TIM3+ cells (FIG. 7B) compared to CART responders that was statistically significant for both cell populations. Partial responders also showed an increased percentage of both cell populations compared to CART responders, with the averages being decreased compared to the non-responders.

These results indicate that patients that do not respond to CAR therapy exhibit increased expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., PD-1, LAG3, and TIM3) compared to patients that respond or partially respond to CAR therapy. Thus, these results show that agents that inhibit or decrease expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors, e.g., PD-1, LAG3, or TIM3, may be useful for administration to patients receiving CAR therapy to prevent immune suppression through immune checkpoint pathways (e.g., mediated by PD-1, LAG3, or TIM3), thereby increasing the efficacy of the CAR-expressing cells.

Example 8: Exogenous IL-7 Enhances the Function of CAR T Cells

After adoptive transfer of CAR T cells, some patients experience limited persistence of the CAR T cells, which can result in suboptimal levels of anti-tumor activity. In this example, the effects of administration of exogenous human IL-7 is assessed in mouse xenograft models where an initial suboptimal response to CAR T cells has been observed.

Expression of the IL-7 receptor CD127 was first assessed in different cancer cell lines and in CAR-expressing cells. Two mantle cell lymphoma cell lines (RL and Jeko-1) and one B-ALL cell line (Nalm-6) were analyzed by flow cytometry for CD127 expression. As shown in FIG. 9A, out of the three cancer cell lines tested, RL was shown to have the highest expression of CD127, followed by Jeko-1 and Nalm-6. CART19 cells were infused into NSG mice and CD127 expression was assessed on the circulating CART19 cells by flow cytometry. As shown in FIG. 9B, CD127 is uniformly expressed on all circulating CART19 cells.

Next, the effect of exogenous IL-7 treatment on anti-tumor activity of CART19 cells was assessed in a lymphoma animal model. NSG mice were engrafted with a luciferase-expressing mantle cell line (RL luc) on Day 0 (D0), followed by treatment of CART19 cells on Day 6. The NSG mice were divided into groups, where one group received no CART19 cells, a second group received 0.5×10⁶ CART19 cells, a third group received 1×10⁶ CART19 cells, and a fourth group received 2×10⁶ CART19 cells. Tumor size was monitored by measuring the mean bioluminescence of the engrafted tumors over more than 80 days. Only mice receiving 2×10⁶ CART19 cells demonstrated rejection of the tumor and inhibition of tumor growth (FIG. 10A). Mice from the two groups receiving 0.5×10⁶ CART19 cells or 1×10⁶ CART19 cells were shown to s a suboptimal anti-tumor response. Mice from these two groups were then randomized, where three mice (mouse #3827 and #3829 which received 0.5×10⁶ CART19 cells, and mouse #3815 which received 1×10⁶ CART19 cells) received exogenous recombinant human IL-7 at a dosage of 200 ng/mouse by intraperitoneal injection three times weekly starting at Day 85, and two mice did not. The tumor burden of mice receiving exogenous IL-7 from Day 85-125, as detected by mean bioluminescence, is shown in FIG. 10B. All mice receiving IL-7 showed a dramatic response of 1-3 log reduction in tumor burden. Mice that originally received a higher dose of CART19 cells (mouse #3815 which received 1×10⁶ CART19 cells) showed a more profound response. When comparing the tumor burden of mice that received IL-7 treatment to control, before and after IL-7 treatment, tumor reduction in tumor burden was only seen in the mice that had received IL-7 treatment (FIG. 10C).

T cell dynamics following IL-7 treatment in the lymphoma animal model was also examined. Human CART19 cells were not detectable in the blood prior to IL-7 treatment. Upon treatment of IL-7, there was rapid, but variable increase in the numbers of T cells in the treated mice (FIG. 11A). The extent of T cell expansion observed in mice receiving the IL-7 also correlated with tumor response. The mouse with the highest number of T cells detected in the blood at peak expansion during IL-7 treatment (mouse #3815) had the most robust reduction in tumor burden (see FIG. 10B). Moreover, the time of peak expansion correlated with the T cell dose injected as baseline. The number/level CD3-expressing cells in the blood were also measured before and after IL-7 treatment. In control mice, very few CD3-expressing cells were detected, while IL-7-treated mice showed a significant increase in CD3+ cells after IL-7 treatment (FIG. 11B).

Together, the results in this example demonstrate that exogenous IL-7 treatment increases T cell proliferation and anti-tumor activity in vivo, indicating that use of IL-7 in patients with suboptimal results after CAR therapy can improve anti-tumor response in these patients.

Example 9: Evaluation of CD22 CAR

Automated Jurkat-NFAT-Luciferase (JNL) Cell Assay

An automated assay was performed to determine reactivity of specific CD22 CART clones. 3e⁴ lentivirally-transduced Jurkat cell line cells stably expressing luciferase from an NFAT promoter (JNL cells) were plated in a 96 well plate with CD22-expressing target cell lines (Daudi, Raji) and a non-CD22 expressing cell line (K562) as a negative control. The next day, luciferin substrate was added to each well of the 96 well plate and relative luminescence of the luciferase reporter was determined. In this assay, CD22 CAR constructs were compared to a CD19 CAR construct and a CD22 (m971-derived) CAR construct (m971-HL) that served as positive controls. A m971-LH CAR construct, which contains the VH and VL chains of m971-HL but in reverse orientation (L-H instead of H-L), contained a CAR but was unable to bind target due to lack of specificity and served as a negative control. Untransduced T-cells containing no CAR (Neg cnt) also served as a negative control. Luciferase activity from Jurkat T-cell activation was graphed. The results presented herein demonstrate that several of the CD-22 transduced JNL clones showed specific reactivity towards the CD22-expressing cell lines that increased in a dose-dependent manner (FIGS. 18A-18C).

Expression of CD22 CAR in Primary Human T-Cells

Primary human T-cells were activated with anti-CD3/antiCD28 stimulatory beads on day 0, followed by lentiviral transduction of specified CAR constructs on day 1. Cells were expanded in vitro until day, 10 at which point they were analyzed by flow cytometry for surface expression of CAR. Two different approaches were utilized to determine surface expression of CAR: Protein-L-biotin followed by streptavidin-PE, and recombinant human CD22-Fc followed by anti-Fc-alexafluor 488. The results are shown in FIGS. 19A, 19B, 19C, and 19D. The results presented herein demonstrate that CD22 CAR clone 2 (hCD22-2), clone 5 (hCD22-5), clone 7 (hCD22-7), clone 8 (hCD22-8), clone 10 (hCD22-10), clone 12 (hCD22-12), clone 30 (hCD22-30), and clone 31 (hCD22-31) showed positive surface expression. CD22 CAR m971 served as a positive control for binding both Protein-L and hrCD22-Fc, and Isotype CAR with no specificity (anti-gH) served as a positive control for Protein-L. T cells expressing no CAR were used as a negative control.

Primary T-Cell Tumor Target Killing Assay

Primary T-cells activated and transduced as described above were mixed with target cell lines stably expressing luciferase at the ratios indicated (FIG. 20A-20F). Target cell lines Raji, SEM, K562-hCD22, Daudi, and Nalm6 all expressed CD22 target, whereas the K562 cell line did not express CD22 and served as a negative control (FIG. 20A-20F). The results presented herein demonstrate that several CD22 CAR clones (e.g., CD22 CAR clones 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 30, and 31) and positive control CD22 m971-HL CAR exhibited dose-dependent target cell killing, with extent of killing varying depending on target cell type. Untransduced T-cells (UTD) lacked the ability to kill target cell lines.

Primary T-Cell Cytokine Bead Array

The ability of CD22-expressing cell lines to induce release of proinflammatory cytokines from CD22-expressing CART cells was investigated. Proinflammatory cytokine concentration was determined using a cytokine bead array kit on samples taken from the primary T-cell killing assay. Interferon-g (IFN-g), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa), and interleukin 2 (IL-2) were all measured on samples from 2.5:1 E:T and 10:1 E:T ratios. The results are shown in FIG. 21A-21F. The results presented herein demonstrate that multiple CD22 CAR clones induced significantly more IFN-g, TNFa and IL-2 than the m971-LH CAR (negative control) or untransduced T-cells (UTD), with cytokine induction levels varying by target cell type.

Example 10: Dose Escalation Study of CD22 CART Treatment

A phase 1 clinical trial is performed to determine the optimal dose of CD22 CART with or without CD19 CART in ALL subjects who have and have not previously received CART therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of producing anti-CD22 CAR engineered T cells meeting the established release criteria and to assess the safety of administering escalating doses of autologous anti-CD22 CAR engineered T cells in children and young adults with B cell malignancies following a cyclophosphamide/fludarabine lymphodepletion regimen.

Subjects are between 1 and 30 years of age and weighing at least 15 kg with CD22+ ALL. Disease activity is measurable by bone marrow analysis or FDG-PET. Subjects with minimal residual disease activity are allowed. Subjects with a central nervous system (CNS) status of 1 or 2 are allowed. Subjects must have adequate organ function and adequate CD3 count.

A phase 1 dose escalation study with an expansion cohort is performed. Subjects are stratified according to whether they have or have not previously received CART therapy. Subjects are given one of four dose levels of four doses of autologous anti-CD22 CAR engineered T cells: 3×10⁵ cells/kg body weight, 1×10⁶ cells/kg body weight, 3×10⁶ cells/kg body weight and 1×10⁷ cells/kg body weight. A subset of the subjects receiving the 3×10⁶ cells/kg body weight dose are also given anti-CD19 CAR engineered T cells. The first 2 patients at each dose level are 16 years of age or older.

After eligibility is determined, apheresis is performed to isolate T cells. Subjects then undergo preparative chemotherapy. Subjects are treated with 25 mg/m² fludarabine daily for three days and given a single dose of 900 mg/m² of cyclophosphamide. Anti-CD22 CAR engineered T cells are then administered and 28 days later response and toxicity are evaluated.

Example 11: Utilization of CD20-Targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARS) for the Treatment of B-Cell Malignancies

A Jurkat-NFAT-Luciferase (JNL) cell assay was performed to determine reactivity of specific CD20 CART clones. Jurkat cells stably expressing luciferase from an NFAT promoter (JNL cells) were lentivirally transduced with CAR constructs shown in FIG. 15A-15C. CAR-expressing JNL cells (3e4) were mixed with CD20 expressing target cell lines Daudi (FIG. 15A) and Raji (FIG. 15B), and a non CD20 expressing negative control K562 (FIG. 15C) at effector cell:target cell (E:T) ratios of 0.5:1, 1:1, 2:1, and 4:1. Lentivirally transduced JNL cells were plated in a 96 well plate with CD20-expressing target cell lines (Daudi, Raji) and a non-CD20 expressing cell line (K562) as a negative control. The next day, luciferin substrate was added to each well of the 96 well plate, and relative luminescence of the luciferase reporter (from Jurkat T-cell activation) was determined. In this assay, CD20 CAR constructs were compared to a CD19 CAR construct and a CD22 (m971-derived) CAR construct described in Haso et al., Blood, 14 Feb. 2013, Vol. 121, No. 7 that served as positive controls. Isotype CAR, which contained a CAR but was unable to bind target due to lack of specificity, and untransduced T-cells containing no CAR (Neg cnt) served as negative controls. The results are shown in FIG. 15A-15C. Several of the CD20 transduced JNL clones showed specific reactivity towards the CD20-expressing cell lines that increased in a dose-dependent manner.

Example 12: Identification of Factors that Predict Subject Relapse to CD19CART Therapy in B-Cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-ALL)

The present Example describes, among other things, the identification of novel transcriptional gene signatures that predict patient relapse to CD19CART therapy (e.g., CTL019 therapy) in B cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-ALL), for use in accordance with the present invention.

Among other things, the present Example describes novel gene signatures based on mRNA expression levels of selected genes in the patient prior to CD19CART treatment (e.g., CTL019) (apheresis or bone marrow) or in manufactured CD19CART product samples (e.g., CTL019) prior to re-infusion. In an embodiment, the present example describes novel gene signatures that discriminate relapsers to CTL019 therapy in B-ALL from non-relapsers to CTL019 therapy in B-ALL.

The present Example describes methods of unbiased feature selection to discover novel gene signatures that predict subject relapse to CD19CART therapy (e.g., CTL019) in B-ALL, for use in accordance with the present invention.

The present Example also describes methods of Gene Set Analysis to discover novel gene signatures, for use in accordance with the present invention.

Novel gene signatures based on mRNA expression levels in manufactured CD19CART product samples prior to re-infusion were identified that predict subject relapse to CD19CART therapy in B cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-ALL). The identified signatures were discovered in a whole genome RNAseq study of manufactured product samples which included 7 B-ALL subject samples. B-ALL subject samples (7 total) were stratified as follows: biological samples were taken from 4 subjects who did not relapse (“non-relapsers”) following CTL019 therapy, and 3 subjects who did relapse (“relapsers”) following CTL019 therapy. Several gene signatures discriminating responders from non-responders, and relapsers from non-relapsers, in manufactured product samples were discovered and are described further in detail below.

Novel gene signatures were then discovered using various data analytical approaches: 1) unbiased feature selection; 2) gene set analysis; and 3) differential expression analysis of selected genes of interest.

Novel gene signatures derived from unbiased feature selection were discovered by determining which genes were differentially expressed between the 2-group comparison of relapsers and non-relapsers which compared the 3 relapsers to the 4 non-relapsers. Genes were defined as differentially expressed if their differential expression was statistically significant in the 2-group comparison with a FDR p-value cutoff of 0.25. The gene list for the relapser versus non-relapser comparison (N=17) is tabulated in Table 29. 2-group statistical models were applied to determine whether the meta-gene was statistically different between the groups and an exemplary schematic illustrating the approach is illustrated in FIGS. 32A and 32B. FIGS. 32A and 32B depict an exemplary heat map of genes upregulated in activated T_(EFF) versus resting T_(EFF) cells for complete responders (CR), partial responders (PR), and non-responders (NR) with CLL.

Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, these data indicate that the differentiation state of T cells in CD19CART product (e.g., CTL019) correlate with subject response (i.e., CR, PR, or NR) and predict subject relapse to CD19CART therapy (e.g., CTL019 therapy) in B-ALL. Complete responders gene signatures are more like resting T_(REG) and T_(EFF) cells. Among other things, gene signatures for relapsers (e.g., a complete responder that relapses to CTL019 therapy) contain genes upregulated in T_(REG) versus T_(EFF) cells at resting. Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, these data indicate that relapsers to CART therapy (e.g., CTL019) in B-ALL have higher levels of T_(REG) compared to non-relapsers to CART therapy (e.g., CTL019). FIG. 17 depicts exemplary results illustrating that T_(REG) are differentially enriched in relapsers (R) versus non-relapsers, e.g., relapsers express high levels of T_(REG) genes compared to complete responders (CR) (e.g., non-relapsers).

The following genes showed increased levels in relapsers and decreased levels in non relapsers: MIR199A1, MIR1203, uc021ovp, ITM2C, and HLA-DQB1. The following genes showed decreased levels in relapsers and increased levels in non relapsers: PPIAL4D, TTTY10, TXLNG2P, MIR4650-1, KDM5D, USP9Y, PRKY, RPS4Y2, RPS4Y1, NCRNA00185, SULT1E1, and EIF1AY.

Gene set analysis yielded a number of gene signatures predictive of subject relapse to CTL019 therapy in B-ALL.

Among other things, the present Example describes novel gene signatures based on Gene Set Analysis, that are predictive of patent relapse to CD19CART therapy (e.g., CTL019) in B-ALL. Gene set analysis was performed on three gene sets i.e., gene sets were sourced from (1) additional experiments were based on unpublished experiments by Szabo et al., (described below); (2) gene sets published by Abbas et al. in Genome Research 2005; and (3) gene sets published by Gattinoni et al. in Nature Medicine 2011. The gene sets defined by Szabo, Abbs, and Gattinoni and considered in this analysis described in Example 1 of U.S. Provisional Patent App. 62/061,553.

The Szabo core gene set includes the following genes which are upregulated in Teff cells (16h v 0 h): AIM2, ALAS1, B4GALT5, BATF, C3orf26, C4orf43, CCL3, CCL4, CCT3, CCT7, CD40LG, CHAC2, CSF2, CTNNA1, EBNA1BP2, EDARADD, EEF1E1, EIF2B3, EIF2S1, FABP5, FAM40B, FKBP4, FOSL1, GFOD1, GLRX2, HSPD1, HSPE1, IFNG, IL15RA, IL21, IL2RA, IL3, KCNK5, KIAA0020, LARP4, LRP8, LTA, MANF, MIR1182, MIR155, MIR155HG, MTCH2, MYOF, NDUFAF1, NLN, NME1, NME1-NME2, OTUD7B, PAM, PDIA6, PEA15, PFKM, PGAM1, PGAM4, PPIL1, PRDX4, PRSS23, PSMD1, PSMD11, PSMD14, PTRH2, PUS7, RBBP8, RPF2, RPP25, SFXN1, SLC27A2, SLC39A14, SLC43A3, SORD, SPR, SRXN1, STIP1, STT3A, TBX21, TMCC2, TMEM165, TNFRSF9, TXN, TXNDC5, UCK2, VDR, WDR12, YWHAG, and ZDHHC16. The Szabo core gene set also includes the following genes which are upregulated in Treg cells (16 h v 0 h): AIM2, ALAS1, BATF, C5orf32, CCL17, CD40LG, CHAC2, CSF1, CTSL1, EBNA1BP2, EDARADD, EMP1, EPAS1, FABP5, FAM40B, FKBP4, FOSL1, GCLM, GK, GPR56, HMOX1, HSPD1, HSPE1, IKBIP, IL10, IL13, IL15RA, IL1RN, IL2RA, IL3, IL4, IL5, IL9, KCNK5, LTA, MANF, MIR1182, MIR155, MIR155HG, MYOF, NDUFAF1, NLN, NME1, NME1-NME2, PANX2, PDIA6, PGAM4, PPIL1, PPPDE2, PRDX4, PRKAR1B, PSMD1, PSMD11, PUS7, RBBP8, SLC27A2, SLC39A14, SLC43A3, SRXN1, STIP1, STT3A, TBX21, TNFRSF11A, TNFRSF1B, TNFRSF8, TNFRSF9, TXN, UCK2, VDR, VTRNA1-3, WDR12, YWHAG, ZDHHC16, and ZNF282.

Each gene set (e.g., Szabo gene sets, Abbas gene sets, and Gattinoni gene sets) was evaluated to determine its association with subject response (i.e., relapser or non-relapser) in the following manner: a meta-gene was calculated for each subject, where the meta-gene score for subject j was defined as m _(j)=Σ_(i=G) ¹ x _(ij) −μx _(.j) /σx _(.j)

where x_(ij) is the expression value of gene i in subject j for a given gene set n=1, . . . , G; μ(x_(.j)) is the mean of genes 1, . . . , G in subject j; and σ(x_(.j)) is the standard deviation of genes 1, . . . , G in subject j.

A 2-group statistical model was applied to each gene set to determine whether the meta-gene was statistically different between the manufactured CTL019 product of relapsers and non-relapsers. A schematic illustrating this approach is given in FIG. 16. Of the Szabo, Abbas, and Gattinoni gene sets, there was one gene set that was significantly differentially enriched between relapsers and non-relapsers. This gene set was from the Szabo collection and contains genes upregulated in T_(REG) versus T_(EFF) cells at resting, and correlated with patient relapse to CTL019 therapy. Specifically, this gene set was found to be enriched in relapsers, indicating that relapsers have higher levels of T_(REGS) compared to non-relapsers. For example, the meta-gene score for the gene set comprised of genes upregulated in T_(REG) in comparison to T_(EFF) cells is found to be correlated with patient relapse in product samples (see FIG. 17). FIG. 17 depicts exemplary results (p=0.000215) illustrating that T_(REG) genes have high expression levels in relapsers (R) compared to non-relapser, complete responders (CR). The x-axis is samples by response group where CR=complete responder and R=relapser. The y-axis is normalized meta-gene expression scores.

Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, these data indicate that decreasing the T_(REG) signature in the patient prior to apheresis or during manufacturing of the CART product significantly reduces the risk of patient relapse.

Example 13: Insertion Mutations are a Mechanism of Resistance to CTL019 Therapy in B Cell Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (B-ALL)

Several resistance mechanisms have been discovered by comparing the mRNA sequencing data from B-ALL patient samples taken at baseline and after relapse. Certain resistance mechanisms are referred to as “CD19− relapse”, i.e. the patient's tumor cells are characterized as CD19− since they do not bind to the FMC63 epitope used in CTL019 as measured by flow cytometry. Several resistance mechanisms have been discovered and are described in detail in this Example.

mRNA sequencing (RNAseq) was performed to compare the transcriptional profiles of B-ALL patients before CTL019 treatment and after relapse. Three patients were considered: one patient (Patient #29), who was CD19− at the time of relapse, and two patients (Patients #104 and #105), who were CD19+ at relapse. See Table 30 below for a list of patients, their classification, and percentage of leukemia at both time points.

TABLE 30 % Leukemia in BM, % Leukemia in BM, Sample Type of relapse baseline relapse Patient #29 CD19− N/A N/A Patient # 104 CD19+ 33% 98.5% Patient # 105 CD19+ 46% pre-CART  65%

Analysis of the RNAseq data for the CD19 gene revealed several noteworthy observations.

Three insertions were found in exon 2 of CD19. The insertions were only found in the relapse sample for patient #29. No reads supporting any of the three insertions, or any other insertion in exon 2 of CD19, were observed in the other two patients and at baseline for patient #29. The genomic locations and actual insertions are tabulated in Table 31 below.

TABLE 31 Insertion Location Wild Type Inserted Sequence 1 28943706 C C --> CA 2 28943707 A A --> AT 3 28943811 T T --> TTTGG

The lengths of the three insertions are 1, 1, and 4 bases long respectively and are likely all frameshift insertions. All three of the insertions result in premature stop codons within exon 2 (for insertions 1 and 2 a new stop codon occurs at ch16:28943752 and for insertion 3 at ch16:28943887). Table 32 below lists the number of reads supporting the insertion and the wild type as well as associated percentages. The most prevalent insertion is “insertion 3” which is a 4 base insertion and occurs ˜30%. Moreover, out of the 15 paired reads which span more than one insertion, none of the paired reads contained more than one insertion, suggesting the insertions are mutually exclusive.

TABLE 32 Sample Ins1 (Ins, wt) Ins2 (Ins, wt) Ins3 (Ins, wt)  29B 0, 62 0, 62  0, 50  29R 21, 308 4, 327 67, 151 104B 0, 69 0, 69  0, 79 104R  0, 392 0, 398  0, 413 105B 0, 42 0, 42  0, 63 105R  0, 184 0, 185  0, 212

In the Table, “Sample” lists the patient number followed by “B” for baseline sample or “R” for a sample taken upon relapse. The column labeled Ins1 indicates the number of reads showing Ins1 (left number) versus the wild-type sequence at that position (right number); the column labeled Ins2 indicates the number of reads showing Ins2 (left number) versus the wild-type sequence at that position (right number); and labeled Ins3 indicates the number of reads showing Ins3 (left number) versus the wild-type sequence at that position (right number). The Table indicates that only patient 29 showed these three insertions, and the insertions were only observed upon relapse. These results suggest that insertions in exon 2 of CD19 lead to resistance in some patients.

This work identified resistance mechanisms to CTL019 therapy in B-ALL, namely insertions in exon 2 of CD19 by which the tumor cells become CD19− and resistant to CTL019 therapy. This observation provides support for a CTL019 combination strategy with CARs against targets other than CD19, e.g., CD20, CD22, and ROR1.

Example 14: Expression of B-Cell Antigens in Relapsed ALL Cancer Patients

Expression of various B-cell antigens was determined in relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cancer patients who had previously been treated with a cancer therapy other than a CAR therapy, i.e., had not been treated with any CAR therapy.

Methods

Samples were obtained as de-identified primary human ALL bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) specimens. Anti-human antibodies were purchased from Abcam, Biolegend, Invitrogen, eBioscience, or Becton Dickinson. Mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll separation, washed once in PBS supplemented with 2% fetal calf serum, and stained for 15 minutes at room temperature. For cell number quantitation, Countbright (Invitrogen) beads were used according to the manufacturer's instructions. In all analyses, the population of interest was gated based on forward vs. side scatter characteristics followed by singlet gating, and live cells were gated using Live Dead Aqua (Invitrogen). Time gating was included for quality control. For animal studies the murine anti-CD45 antibody (Biolegend) was added to gate out murine leukocytes. Surface expression of CD22 was detected by staining with anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody from clone HIB22 (Biolegend). Surface expression of CD123 was detected by staining with anti-CD123 monoclonal antibody from clone 6H6 (ebioscience). Surface expression of FLT3 was detected by staining with anti-FLT3 monoclonal antibody from clone IM2234U (Beckman Coulter). Surface expression of ROR1 was detected by staining with anti-ROR1 monoclonal antibody from clone 2H6 (Abcam). Surface expression of CD79b was detected by staining with anti-CD79b monoclonal antibody from clone CB3-1 (Biolegend). Surface expression of CD79a was detected by staining with anti-CD79a monoclonal antibody from clone HM47 (R&D Systems). Surface expression of CD10 was detected by staining with anti-CD10 monoclonal antibody from clone eBioCV-CALLA (ebioscience). Surface expression of CD34 was detected by staining with anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody from clone 561 (Biolegend). Surface expression of CD20 was detected by staining with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody from clone L27 (BD Biosciences). Quantitation of cellular antigen expression in Antibody Binding Capacity (ABC) units was performed using Quantum™ Simply Cellular® (Bangs Lab., Inc) according to standard procedure (http://static.abdserotec.com/uploads/ifu/fcsc815b.pdf). Flow cytometry was performed on a four-laser Fortessa-LSR cytometer (Becton-Dickinson) and analyzed with FlowJo X 10.0.7r2 (Tree Star).

Results

In the relapsed ALL patients, several B-cell antigens were expressed, including CD19, CD22, CD123, FLT-3, CD10, and CD34. See FIG. 22.

In order to identify potential additional B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) targets, samples from 16 r/r patients were screened by multiparametric flow cytometry for the following markers: CD19 (16 pts), CD22 (16 pts), CD123 (16 pts), FLT-3 (9 pts), ROR-1 (3 pts), CD79b (15 pts), CD179b (8 pts), CD79a (16 pts), CD10 (16 pts), CD34 (16 pts), and CD20 (16 pts). CD22 and CD123 were highly (>60%) and homogeneously expressed in the blasts of r/r ALL patients (bar indicates median % expression, respectively 99.50%, 98.80%, 95.70%, 72.00%, 47.00%, 15.00%, 13.45%, 4.200%, 98.00%, 87.65%, and 7.00%). (FIG. 22).

Example 15: Expression of B-Cell Antigens in Relapsed CD19-Negative Cancer Patients

Expression of various B-cell antigens was determined in patients who had previously been treated with a CD19 CAR and who have relapsed with CD19-negative tumors. Flow cytometry was used according to the methods in Example 14 to determine expression of the antigens, with a gating strategy depicted in FIG. 23.

Expression of CD22 and CD123 was analyzed in BM and PB samples from 6 patients relapsing with CD19-negative leukemia, both before CART19 treatment (baseline) and after (CD19-negative relapse). In all analyses, the population of interest was gated based on forward vs. side scatter characteristics followed by singlet gating, and live cells were gated using Live Dead Aqua (Invitrogen). Time gating was included for quality control. The gating strategy included: time gating→SSC low→singlets→live→CD45dim→CD10+.

Results

Almost all patients who became CD19-negative remained both CD22-positive and CD-123-positive. See FIG. 24 and FIG. 25. The results are summarized in FIG. 26, and demonstrate that while CD19 CART treatment results in a loss of CD19 expression (as measured by flow cytometry), CD22 and CD123 expression remains high.

Example 16: Expanded Access Treatment with Autologous CD22 Redirected CART Cells in Refractory B-Cell Malignancies

Relapsing/refractory (r/r) B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is associated with a poor prognosis in both pediatric and adult patients. Novel therapies targeting CD19 on leukemic blasts, such as anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells (CART19, CTL019) or bi-specific anti-CD19/CD3 antibodies (blinatumomab) induce significant responses in this population. However, CD19-negative relapses have been reported in 5-10% of patients following CART19 or blinatumomab therapies.

Methods

Cell Line and Primary Samples

Cells of the ALL cell line, NALM-6, were maintained in culture with RPMI media supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, penicillin, and streptomycin. For some experiments, NALM-6 cells were transduced with luciferase/GFP+ and then sorted to obtain a >99% positive population. The acute myeloid leukemia cell lines MOLM-14 or K562 and the T-ALL cell line JURKAT were used as CD22-negative controls.

De-identified primary human ALL bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) specimens and BM and PB samples from two patients relapsing after CART-19 therapy were obtained. ALL blasts from patient treated with CART-19 and relapsed with CD19-negative leukemia were collected at baseline (IR82, prior to CART19 therapy) and relapse (IR243). Primary blasts from these 2 time points were expanded in vivo in NSG mice and transduced with luciferase/GFP after several passages (Barrett, D et al. (2011) Blood 118(15):e112-117). For all functional studies, ALL cells were thawed at least 12 hours before analysis and rested at 37° C.

Generation of CAR Constructs and CAR T Cells

A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against CD22 was generated using the anti-CD22 single-chain variable fragment light (L) and heavy (H) chain sequences described in U.S. Patent Application No. 2011/0020344 A1, which describes generation of an anti-CD22 fully human monoclonal antibody m971 (Xiao, X et al. (2009) MAbs. 1(3):297-303). The sequences were codon-optimized and two different CAR constructs were generated using two different variable chain orientations (H to L and L to H). These two anti-CD22 scFvs were then cloned into a murine CAR19 backbone (CD8 hinge, 41BB costimulatory domain and CD3 zeta signaling domain) and subsequently in the pTRPE lentiviral vector. Murine CAR19 was generated as previously described (Milone, M et al. (2009) Molecular therapy: the journal of the American Society of Gene Therapy 17(8):1453-1464).

Production of CAR-positive T-cells was performed as previously described (Gill, S et al. (2014) Blood 123(15):2343-2354). Normal donor CD4-positive and CD8-positive T cells were plated at the concentration of 1e6/ml, with a CD4:CD8 ratio of 1:1 and expanded in X-vivo 15 media (Lonza, 04-418Q), human serum AB 5% (Gemini, 100-512), penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, 15070063) and Glutamax (Gibco, 35050061) using anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Life Technologies, 11161D) added on the day 1 of culture and removed on day 6. T-cells were transduced with lentivirus carrying either CAR22, CAR19 or mock transfected on day 2. T-cells were expanded in culture for 10-15 days and harvested when the median cell volume was below 300 fl. T-cells were then cryopreserved in FBS 10% DMSO for future experiments. Prior to all experiments, T-cells were thawed and rested overnight at 37° C.

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry Analysis

Anti-human antibodies were purchased from Biolegend, eBioscience, or Becton Dickinson. Cells were isolated from in vitro culture or from animals, washed once in PBS supplemented with 2% fetal calf serum, and stained for 15 minutes at room temperature. For cell number quantitation, Countbright (Invitrogen) beads were used according to the manufacturer's instructions. In all analyses, the population of interest was gated based on forward vs. side scatter characteristics followed by singlet gating, and live cells were gated using Live Dead Aqua (Invitrogen). Time gating was included for quality control. For animal studies the murine anti-CD45 antibody (Biolegend) was added to gate out murine leukocytes. Surface expression of anti-CD22 CAR was detected by staining with CD22-His protein (11958-H08H-50) and anti-His-APC monoclonal antibody (IC050A). CAR19 was detected as previously described (Kalos, M et al. (2011) Science translational medicine 3(95):95ra73). Quantitation of CD19 and CD22 cellular antigen expression in Antibody Binding Capacity (ABC) units was performed on NALM-6 and controls using Quantum™ Simply Cellular® (Bangs Lab., Inc) according to standard procedure (http://static.abdserotec.com/uploads/ifu/fcsc815b.pdf). Flow cytometry was performed on a four-laser Fortessa-LSR cytometer (Becton-Dickinson) and analyzed with FlowJo X 10.0.7r2 (Tree Star).

Degranulation Assay

Degranulation assays were performed as previously described. T-cells were incubated with target cells at a 1:5 ratio in T cell media. Anti-CD107a-PECY7 (Biolengend), anti-CD28 (BD Biosciences), anti-CD49d (BD Biosciences) antibodies and monensin (BD Biosciences) were added to co-culture 30 minutes after starting time. After 4 hours, cells were harvested and stained for CAR expression, CD3, CD8 and Live Dead aqua staining (Invitrogen). Cells were fixed and permeabilized (Invitrogen Fix/Perm buffers) and intracellular staining was then performed to detect multiple cytokines (IFN, TNFa, IL-2, GM-CSF, MIP1b).

Proliferation Assay

T cells were washed and resuspended at 1×107/ml in 100 μl of PBS and stained with 100 μl of CFSE 2.5 μM (Invitrogen) for 5 minutes at 37° C. The reaction was then quenched with cold media, and cells were washed three times. Targets were irradiated at a dose of 100 Gy. T-cells were incubated at a 1:1 ratio with irradiated target cells for 120 hours, adding media at 24 hours. Cells were then harvested, stained for CD3, CAR and Live Dead aqua (Invitrogen), and Countbright beads (Invitrogen) were added prior to flow cytometric analysis for absolute quantification.

Cytotoxicity Assays

Luciferase/GFP+ NALM-6 cells or primary ALL samples were used for cytotoxicity assay as previously described. 4 Targets were incubated at the indicated ratios with effector T-cells for 4 or 16 hours. Killing was calculated either by bioluminescence imaging on a Xenogen IVIS-200 Spectrum camera or by flow cytometry. For the latter, cells were harvested and Countbright beads and 7-AAD (Invitrogen) were added prior to analysis. Residual live target cells were CFSE-positive 7-AAD-negative.

Cytokine Measurements

Effector and target cells were co-incubated at a 1:1 ratio in T-cell media for 24 hours. Supernatant was harvested and analyzed by 30-plex Luminex array (Luminex Corp, FLEXMAP 3D) according to the manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen) (Kalos, M et al. (2011)).

In Vivo Experiments

NOD-SCID-γ chain−/− (NSG) mice were obtained. All experiments were performed on protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the University of Pennsylvania. Schemas of the utilized xenograft models are discussed in details in the results section. Cells (NALM-6 or T cells) were injected in 200 ul of PBS at the indicated concentration into the tail veins of mice. Bioluminescent imaging was performed using a Xenogen IVIS-200 Spectrum camera and analyzed with LivingImage software v. 4.3.1 (Caliper LifeSciences). Animals were euthanized at the end of the experiment or when needed according to IACUC policies.

Immunohistochemistry

Tissue microarrays (TMA) of 28 human normal tissues (adipose, adrenal, appendix, cerebellum, cervix, colon, endometrium, esophagus, fat, heart, kidney, liver, lymph node, lung, muscle, ovary, pancreas, parathyroid, placenta, prostate, salivary, spinal, spleen, stomach, testis, thymus, thyroid, tonsil) were performed in order to evaluate off-tumor expression of CD22 (triplicates). Immuno-histochemical (IHC) staining of formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues was performed on a Leica Bond-III instrument using the Bond Polymer Refine Detection System. Antibodies against CD22 (Clone FPC 1; Leica PA0249) were used undiluted. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was done for 20 minutes with ER2 solution (Leica Microsystems AR9640). Images were digitally acquired using the Aperio ScanScope™.

Gene Expression Profiling.

Publicly accessible RNA-expression database (GeneAtlas U133A, gc) was analyzed using BioGPS.org website for CD22 expression. Median CD22 RNA expression was reported for 75 different human normal cell types and 7 tumor cell lines (see FIGS. 39A, 39B, 39C and 39D).

51-Chromium-Release Assay

In order to evaluate to possible off-tumor CART22 toxicity, Chromium-release assay was performed, using as a target normal human tissues (CD34+, human neurons, human neuronal progenitors, keratinocytes) and K562 or NALM-6 as controls. Target cells were incubated with 51Cr 50 μCi/0.5e6 cells for 1-2 hrs at 37° C. Cells were washed and plated in triplicate with effectors cells at different E:T ratios. After 4 hour-incubation, an aliquot from each well was put in a reader plate and dried overnight. The next day chromium release was quantified using 1450 Microbeta Plus Liquid Scintillation Counter.

In order to identify potential B-ALL targets, samples from 16 r/r patients and 4 patients relapsing with CD19-negative disease after treatment with CART19 therapy were screened by multiparametric flow cytometry for the B cell marker, CD22. CD22 was highly (>60%) and homogeneously expressed in the blasts of 11/15 r/r ALL patients (FIG. 27A). CD22 was also positive in 4/4 patients relapsing with CD19-negative leukemia, both before CART19 treatment (baseline) and after (CD19-neg relapse) (2 pts shown) (FIG. 27B). (Gating strategy: SSC low→singlets→live→CD45dim).

The schema of the CAR22 constructs that were generated using different chain orientations (H to L and L to H) is shown in FIG. 28A. The anti-CD22 scFv (m971) was codon optimized and cloned in the murine CAR19 vector containing CD8 hinge, 41-BB costimulatory and CD3 zeta signaling domains. The expression of CD19, CD22 and isotype control on NALM6 ALL cell line is shown as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) (FIG. 28B) and antibody-binding capacity (ABC) (FIG. 28C). The results presented herein demonstrate that in NALM-6 cells, the expression of CD19 is higher than CD22. However, in most primary ALL samples, the CD19 and CD22 expressions are similar (see FIG. 28A).

Normal donor T-cell expansions for generating CART22 and CART19 (together with untransduced cells (UTD)) were carried out. Population doubling times and T-cell volume were measured relative to days in culture. At the end of the expansion (day 11 in culture) CART22 and control T-cells reached around 4.5 population doublings (PD), with no significant difference in comparison to CART19 or UTD cells (FIG. 29A). At day 6 in culture the peak volume was around 450 fl, while in the following days the volume decreased down to 300 fl when the cells were harvested and frozen (FIG. 29B). No significant different was observed versus CART19 or UTD. CAR expression on CD4-positive and CD8-poivive T cells was observed at day 11 of expansion by flow cytometry (FIG. 29C). Gating for CAR expression is based on UTD. (Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+). CD107a degranulation assay with intra-cytoplasmic cytokine production was carried out. CART19, CART22 HtoL and LtoH were co-cultured with different targets (alone, PMA/IONOMYCIN, MOLM-14 and NALM-6). CART19 and CART22 HtoL showed high levels of CD107a degranulation, IL-2, IFNg and TNFa production when co-cultured with the ALL cell line (NALM-6) but not when co-cultured with negative controls (FIG. 30). UTD and CART22 LtoH do not show degranulation nor cytokine productions (FIG. 30). (Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+).

In a luciferase-based killing assay, CART22 and CART19 HtoL but not UTD were able to lyse NALM-6 cells when co-cultured for 24 hours (FIG. 31). A direct correlation between cytotoxic activity and E:T ratios was observed, with better anti-leukemia effect at 2:1 E:T ratio (78% and 75% killing for CART19 and CART22).

In a CFSE-based proliferation assay, co-culture for 5 days of CART22 and CART19 with the ALL cell line NALM-6 led to significant T cell proliferation (94% and 92.9% respectively). Controls are also shown (TCM=media alone, P-I=PMA/Ionomycin, MOLM-14) (FIG. 32A) Histograms showing the dynamics of CFSE dilution in CART19 and CART22 demonstrate that most T-cells underwent multiple proliferative cycles (FIG. 32B). (Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+)

CART22, CART19 and UTD cells were incubated for 24 hours with different irradiated targets (alone, PMA/Ionomycin, MOLM-14 and NALM-6). When co-cultured with the ALL cell line NALM-6, only CART22 and CART19 HtoL were able to release multiple cytokines (here shown IFNg, IL-2, GM-CSF, TNFa and MIP1b) (FIG. 33).

CART22, CART19 and UTD cells were co-incubated for 4 hours with blasts derived from an ALL patient (CHP-959-101) at baseline and after CART19 treatment when the patient relapsed with a CD19-negative disease. Degranulation was measured. Both CART19 and CART22 were able to degranulate at baseline (when blasts are CD19+ and CD22+) but at relapse only CART22 was degranulating (when the disease is CD19-negative) (FIG. 34A). CD107a degranulation was measured in CD8-positive and CD8-negative CART19 and CART22 effector after incubation with CHP101 sample at relapse. Only CART22 showed degranulation in both CD8 and CD4 T-cells (FIG. 34B). (Gating strategy: FSS vs SSC lymphocytes→singlets→live→CD3+).

In vivo CART22 efficacy against NALM-6 was assessed as follows: 1 million NALM-6 luciferase+ cells/mouse were injected i.v. in NSG mice. After 6 days tumor engraftment was assessed by bioluminescence. Mice were then randomized to receive untransduced T-cells or different doses of CART22 (from 1.25 to 5 million total cells/mouse, with 75% CAR expression). Mice were then monitored for tumor burden, PB T cell expansion, and survival (FIG. 35A). Tumor burden by bioluminescence (BLI) was measured and dose-related anti leukemia response was observed. Mice receiving 5e6 CART22 cells showed better tumor control (FIG. 35B). CART22 treated mice showed a statistically significant better overall survival (OS) in comparison to UTD treated mice. Also for OS there was a significant correlation between higher dose of CART22 and better OS (FIG. 35C). T-cell in vivo expansion was monitored weekly by retro-orbital bleedings. One week after T cell infusion mice receiving the higher dose of CART22 showed the better CART expansion (median of 12 T cells/μl) (FIG. 35D).

In vivo comparison between CART22 and CART19 against NALM-6 was assessed as follows: 1 million NALM-6 luciferase+ cells/mouse were injected i.v. in NSG mice. After 6 days tumor engraftment was assessed by bioluminescence. Mice were then randomized to receive untransduced T-cells, CART19 or CART22 (5 million total cells, with 75% CAR expression). Mice were then monitored for tumor burden, PB T-cell expansion, and survival (FIG. 36A). Tumor burden by bioluminescence (BLI) was measured and anti-leukemia response was observed in both CART22 and CART19 treated mice, while UTD mice rapidly progressed (FIG. 36B). CART19 treated mice showed better overall survival (OS) in comparison to CART22, possibly due to the different target expression in NALM-6 (CD19>>CD22) (FIG. 36C).

CART22 and CART19 were compared in vivo in a model of primary ALL. The blasts of a primary ALL patient (JH331) were passaged in vivo and transduced with luciferase to follow tumor burden. 1 million JH331 luciferase+ cells/mouse were injected i.v. in NSG mice. After 14 days tumor engraftment was assessed by bioluminescence. Mice were then randomized to receive untransduced T-cells, CART19 or CART22 (5 million total cells, with 75% CAR expression). Mice were then monitored for tumor burden, PB T-cell expansion, and survival (FIG. 37A). Tumor burden by bioluminescence (BLI) was measured and anti-leukemia response was observed in both CART22 and CART19 treated mice, while mice treated with UTD cells rapidly progressed (FIG. 37B).

Tissue microarrays for CD22 expression were performed on 28 human normal tissues by immunohistochemistry staining. Lymphoid organs resulted positive for CD22 expression (tonsil, lymph node, spleen and thymus) (FIG. 38A). All non-lymphoid organs showed no expression of CD22 (FIG. 38B). CD22-positive resident B-cells were observed in multiple tissues (FIG. 38C).

CD22 RNA expression was observed at high level in B-cells, tonsil and lymph nodes, as shown in expression data from GeneAtlas U133A. B-lymphoblast and leukemia/lymphoma cell lines were also highly positive (FIGS. 39A, 39B, 39C and 39D).

Both CART22 and CART19 but not UTD cells triggered the lysis of the ALL cell line NALM-6 in a 51-Chromium-release assay for CART22 toxicity (FIG. 40). No cytotoxic effect of CART22 was observed in any normal tissue (CD34+, human neuronal progenitors or neurons and keratinocytes) or control (K562 cell line).

Example 17: Combination of Anti-CD123 and Anti-CD19 CAR T Cells for the Treatment and Prevention of Antigen-Loss Relapse

Chemo-refractory or relapsing (r/r) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is associated with a poor prognosis but, as demonstrated recently, remains exquisitely sensitive to the immune system. In particular, anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART19, CTL019) and bi-specific anti-CD19/CD3 antibodies (blinatumomab) generate unprecedented complete response rates of 45-90% in this patient population. Both approaches re-direct autologous T cells to recognize CD19-expressing cells. Blinatumomab uses a continuous long-term infusion of a bispecific construct that combines an anti-CD19 single chain variable fragment (scFv) with an anti-CD3 scFv; in the case of CART19 T cells are genetically modified to express an anti-CD19 scFv fused to the T cell receptor signaling with built-in co-stimulatory domains. A recent study showed that 90% of patients with r/r B-ALL treated with CTL019 reach complete remission (CR) with an overall survival (OS) of 78% at 6 months. Encouraging results with CART19 were also obtained in patients with other B-cell neoplasms, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

However, a subset of patients treated with CART19 or blinatumomab develops relapse and a significant portion of these relapses are characterized by the loss of CD19. In B-ALL, CD19-negative relapses have been reported in 10-20% of patients following CART19 or blinatumomab therapies and it has not been described in the setting of other treatments; overall about 30% of relapses after blinatumomab and up to 50% after CART19 are CD19-negative. CD19 is a prototypic B-cell marker that is expressed from the very earliest stages of B cell development to the mature B-cell. CD19 plays an important role in B cell biology as CD19-deficient B cells exhibit selective growth disadvantage. Thus the absence of CD19 is a very unusual finding in B-ALL and it is has been reported in only rare patients prior to the era of potent CD19-directed immunotherapies. The possible mechanism of antigen loss is currently under investigation and is most likely caused by selective pressure on leukemia sub-clones by these powerful anti-CD19 agents. Because of the recent approval by the FDA of blinatumomab and the breakthrough status accorded to CTL019, it is likely that increasing numbers of patients with r/r B-ALL will be treated with these agents. Hence, novel effective strategies are needed in order to be able to treat those patients that will relapse with CD19-negative blasts after CART19 or blinatumomab. Ideally a new approach would not only treat patients with active antigen-loss relapse but if employed upfront could potentially prevent their occurrence.

The interleukin-3 receptor alpha (or CD123) is involved in hematopoiesis and has been shown to be expressed in several hematologic neoplasms, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL), plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, hairy cell leukemia, and Hodgkin lymphoma. Unlike lineage-associated surface antigens such as CD33 (myeloid) or CD19 (B-lymphoid), CD123 is hierarchically expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells and in AML CD123 is expressed on leukemic stem cells that are involved in resistance to chemotherapy and relapse after initial treatment. Due to these characteristics, CD123 has generated great interest for targeted therapy, and multiple agents are being developed such as the IL3-diphtheria toxin fusion protein (SL-401, DT388IL3), naked anti-CD123 monoclonal antibodies (CSL-360, CSL-362), antibody-drug conjugates, bi-specific antibodies or CD3Fv-IL3 fusion constructs, and more recently, anti-CD123 chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Some of these approaches are currently being validated in clinical trials and many more will be tested in the clinic in the next few years. Targeting CD123 with chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART123) can lead to deep and long-term responses in human primary AML xenografts and can establish an anti-leukemia T cell memory. Here, CD123 is expressed in CD19-negative B-ALL relapses occurring after CD19-directed therapies and that CAR-123 T cells combined with CART19 (CTL019) is an effective therapy for the treatment and for the prevention of antigen-loss relapses in B-ALL xenografts.

Materials and Methods

Cell Lines and Primary Samples.

Cell lines were originally obtained from ATCC (Manassas, Va.) (K-562) or DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany) (MOLM-14 and NALM-6). All cell lines were tested for the presence of Mycoplasma contamination (MycoAlert™ Mycoplasma Detection Kit, LT07-318, Lonza, Basel, Switzerland). For some experiments, cell lines were transduced with firefly luciferase/eGFP and then sorted to obtain a >99% positive population. The luciferase positive K-562 cell line was also transduced with truncated CD19 or truncated CD123 to obtain cell lines expressing neither of them, only CD19 or only CD123. MOLM-14 and K562 were used as controls as indicated in the relevant figures. The cell lines were maintained in culture with RPMI media 1640 (Gibco, 11875-085, LifeTechnologies, Grand Island, N.Y.) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gemini, 100-106, West Sacramento, Calif.), and 50 UI/ml penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, LifeTechnologies, 15070-063). De-identified primary human ALL bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) specimens were obtained from the clinical practices of University of Pennsylvania/Children's Hospital of Philadelphia under an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-protocol, purchased from the Stem Cells and Xenograft Core of the University of Pennsylvania or from research samples of the current CTL019 clinical trials (Translation and Correlative Study Laboratory, at the University of Pennsylvania). For all functional studies, primary cells were thawed at least 12 hours before experiment and rested at 37° C.

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and Immunohistochemistry.

The FISH analysis and immunohistochemistry were performed according to the standard method and as described. (M. A. Belaud-Rotureau, M. Parrens, P. Dubus, J. C. Garroste, A. de Mascarel, J. P. Merlio, A comparative analysis of FISH, RT-PCR, PCR, and immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphomas. Modern pathology: an official journal of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, Inc 15, 517-525 (2002)). The FISH analysis was performed according to the standard method. In brief, harvested ALL cells were suspended in fixative (acetic acid and methanol), deposited on the slides, and left to dry. The dual color gene fusion probe BCR/ABL (Abbott Molecular), was applied in the hybridization buffer solution. The slides were cover-slipped, sealed, and left inside the HYBrite chamber at 37 C for 6 hr. After removal of the sealant and the coverslip, the slides were washed twice, blotted, dried, and counterstained with DAPI. The slides were examined under fluorescent microscope, with a minimum of 200 nuclei evaluated in each specimen.

Generation of CAR Constructs and CAR T Cells.

The murine anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CD8 hinge, 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain and CD3 zeta signaling domain) was generated as previously described. (Milone, et al., Molecular therapy: the journal of the American Society of Gene Therapy 17, 1453-1464 (2009) and Imai, et al., Leukemia 18, 676-684 (2004)). This is the same construct currently used in the CTL019 clinical trials at the University of Pennsylvania. For CAR123 scFv anti-CD123 (1172 construct (SEQ ID NO: 707, and as described in PCT/US2014/017328) was used and the same backbone construct of CAR19. Production of CAR-expressing T cells was performed as previously described. (Gill, et al., Blood 123, 2343-2354 (2014)). Normal donor CD4 and CD8 T cells or PB mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from the Human Immunology Core of the University of Pennsylvania. T cells were plated at 1×10⁶/ml with a CD4:CD8 ratio of 1:1 and expanded in X-vivo 15 media (Lonza, 04-418Q), supplemented with human AB serum 5% (Gemini, 100-512), penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, 15070063) and Glutamax (Gibco, 35050061) using anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Life Technologies, 11161D) added on the day 1 of culture and removed on day 6. T cells were transduced with lentivirus on day 2. T cells were expanded in culture for 8-15 days and harvested when the median cell volume was below 300 fl. T cells were then cryopreserved in FBS with 10% DMSO for future experiments. Prior to all experiments, T cells were thawed and rested overnight at 37° C.

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry.

Flow cytometry was performed as previously described (Kenderian, et al., Leukemia, (2015)). Anti-human antibodies were purchased from Biolegend, eBioscience, or Becton Dickinson. Cells were isolated from in vitro culture or from animals, washed once in PBS supplemented with 2% fetal calf serum, and stained for 15 minutes at room temperature. For cell number quantitation, Countbright (Invitrogen) beads were used according to the manufacturer's instructions. In all analyses, the population of interest was gated based on forward vs. side scatter characteristics followed by singlet gating, and live cells were gated using Live Dead Fixable Aqua (Invitrogen). Time gating was included for quality control. Surface expression of CAR19 was detected as previously described, using an anti-idiotype antibody. Detection of CAR123 was performed using goat-anti-mouse antibody (Jackson Laboratories) or CD123-Fc/His (Sino Biologicals) and anti-His-APC (R&D) or PE (AbCam). Flow cytometry was performed on a four-laser Fortessa-LSR II cytometer (Becton-Dickinson) and analyzed with FlowJo X 10.0.7r2 (Tree Star).

In Vitro T-Cell Effector Function Assays.

Degranulation, CFSE proliferation, cytotoxicity assays and cytokine measurements were performed as previously described. (Gill, et al., Blood 123, 2343-2354 (2014) and Kalos, et al., Science translational medicine 3, 95ra73 (2011)).

Degranulation Assay.

Briefly, T cells were incubated with target cells at a 1:5 ratio in T cell media. Anti-CD107a-PECY7 (Biolegend), anti-CD28 (BD Biosciences), anti-CD49d (BD Biosciences) antibodies and monensin (BD Biosciences) were added to the co-culture. After 4 hours, cells were harvested and stained for CAR expression, CD3, CD8 and Live Dead aqua staining (Invitrogen). Cells were fixed and permeabilized (Invitrogen Fix/Perm buffers) and intracellular staining was then performed to detect multiple cytokines (IFN, TNFα, IL-2, GM-CSF, MIP13).

Proliferation Assay.

T cells were washed and resuspended at 1×10⁷/ml in 100 ul of PBS and stained with 100 ul of CFSE 2.5 uM (Invitrogen) for 5 minutes at 37° C. The reaction was then quenched with cold media, and cells were washed three times. Targets were irradiated at a dose of 100 Gy. T cells were incubated at a 1:1 ratio with irradiated target cells for 120 hours, adding media at 24 hours. Cells were then harvested, stained for CD3, CAR and Live Dead aqua (Invitrogen), and Countbright beads (Invitrogen) were added prior to flow cytometric analysis for absolute quantification.

Cytotoxicity Assays.

Luciferase/eGFP+ cell lines were used for cytotoxicity assay as previously described. In brief, targets were incubated at the indicated ratios with effector T cells for 24 hours. Killing was calculated by bioluminescence imaging on a Xenogen IVIS-200 Spectrum camera.

Cytokine Measurements.

Effector and target cells were co-incubated at a 1:1 ratio in T cell media for 24. Supernatant was harvested and analyzed by 30-plex Luminex array (Luminex Corp, FLEXMAP 3D) according to the manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen).

Animal Experiments.

In vivo experiments were performed as previously described. (Kenderian, et al., Leukemia, (2015)). Schemas of the utilized xenograft models are discussed in detailed in the relevant figures, result. NOD-SCID-γ chain−/− (NSG) originally obtained from Jackson Laboratories were purchased from the Stem Cell and Xenograft Core of the University of Pennsylvania. All experiments were performed according a protocol (#803230) approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) that adheres to the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Cells (leukemia cell lines or T cells) were injected in 200 ul of PBS at the indicated concentration into the tail veins of mice. Bioluminescent imaging was performed using a Xenogen IVIS-200 Spectrum camera and analyzed with LivingImage software v. 4.3.1 (Caliper LifeSciences). Animals were euthanized at the end of the experiment or when they met pre-specified endpoints according to the IACUC protocols.

Multiphoton Microscopy.

Mice were anaesthetized and maintained at core temperature of 37° C. Bone marrow was imaged after removing the scalp and immobilizing the skull. Imaging was performed using a Leica SP5 2-photon microscope system (Leica Microsystems) equipped with a picosecond laser (Coherent). Each imaging acquisition lasted 20 min followed by an assessment of mouse sedation. CellTrace Violet, GFP, and CellTrace Orange (or TRITC) were excited using laser light of 850 nm. Images were obtained using a 20× water-dipping lens. The resulting images were analyzed with Volocity software (PerkinElmer).

Statistical Analysis.

All statistics were performed as indicated using GraphPad Prism 6 for Windows, version 6.04 (La Jolla, Calif.). Student's t-test was used to compare two groups; in analysis where multiple groups were compared, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed with Holm-Sida correction for multiple comparisons. When multiple groups at multiple time points/ratios were compared, the Student's t-test or ANOVA for each time points/ratios was used. Survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. In the figures asterisks are used to represent p-values (*=<0.05, **=<0.01, ***=<0.001, ****=<0.0001) and “ns” means “not significant” (p>0.05). Further details of the statistics for each experiment are listed in figure legends.

Results

CD123 is Expressed in B-ALL, in the Leukemia Stem Cells and in CD19-Negative Relapses

In order to evaluate the expression of CD123 in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 42 samples from adult and pediatric ALL patients were analyzed, including 14 subjects enrolled in our current CTL019 clinical trials. As shown in FIGS. 49A, 49B and 49A, CD123 is highly and homogeneously expressed on the surface of most ALL blasts, representing an ideal candidate for targeted therapy. Moreover, CD123 is also found to be expressed in the putative leukemia stem cells (LSC), identified as CD34+CD38− (FIG. 49C). Small subsets of CD19-negative blasts can be identified in some B-ALL patients and these cells could contribute to antigen-loss relapses, if they contained cells with a malignant phenotype. In order to evaluate the presence of disease in CD19-negative subsets, CD19− CD123+ cells from a Philadelphia chromosome positive B-ALL bulk population were sorted (CD45dim, gating strategy shown FIG. 56B). It was found that these cells were clonal for the BCR-ABL translocation, albeit at a lower frequency than the CD19+ blasts (FIG. 49D). This finding indicates that targeting CD19 alone could, in some cases, lead to a subclonal relapse derived from CD19−CD123+ cells. Furthermore, this finding suggests that targeting CD123 could lead to deeper responses through the elimination of the LSC and possibly CD19-neg leukemia clones.

Finally the expression of CD123 was also evaluated in the samples of B-ALL patients relapsing after CTL019 with loss of CD19. Importantly, in contrast to the complete loss of CD19, the majority of patients maintained CD123 expression at relapse (FIGS. 49E, 49F and 56C). These findings indicate that CD123 represents an ideal marker to target CD19-neg ALL blasts occurring after CART19 or blinatumomab.

Anti-CD123 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells are Active Against Human B-ALL In Vitro and In Vivo

Anti-CD123 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART123) were generated that were lentivirally transduced and expanded with anti-CD3/CD28 magnetic beads. The in vitro and in vivo activity of CART123 against B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia were evaluated as described herein.

The B-ALL cell line NALM-6 that is CD19++ and CD123+ (FIGS. 50A and 57A) and primary B-ALL samples were used. A head-to-head in vitro comparison between CART123 and CART19 revealed similar rates of CD107a degranulation when T cells were co-cultured with NALM-6 or primary ALL (FIG. 50B). CART123 were also able to kill NALM-6 cells with similar efficacy as CART19 in a dose-dependent manner (FIG. 50C). At more long-term experiments, CART123 proliferated (FIGS. 50D and 50E) and produced multiple cytokines (FIG. 50F) when co-cultured with NALM-6 or primary ALL for 3-5 days. These results indicate that CART123 exhibit equivalent potency to CART-19 against multiple B-ALL targets.

In order to confirm these data in an in vivo model, a primary ALL model was utilized. In this model, primary blasts obtained from B-ALL patients were passaged in NOD-SCID-γ chain knock-out (NSG) mice and transduced with a reporter construct containing eGFP and click beetle luciferase (GFP/Luc). NSG mice were injected with GFP/Luc+ primary ALL blasts i.v. (JH331, CD19+, CD123+, add phenotype) and after engraftment, mice were randomized to receive CART19, CART123 or control untransduced T cells (UTD). Mice treated with control T cells succumbed quickly to disease, while mice treated with either CART19 or CART123 showed tumor eradication and long term survival (FIGS. 51A and 51B). CAR123 T cells significantly expanded in the peripheral blood (PB) of the mice compared to control T cells and expressed high levels of CAR123 (FIG. 51C). The anti-leukemia activity of CART123 was specific and based on the recognition of CD123 in the surface of the blasts as when we engrafted mice with a CD123− CD19+ leukemia (AV576), only CART19 show anti-leukemia activity, while CART123 had no effect as compared to controls UTD (FIGS. 57B and 57C).

In order to detect a possible correlation of CART123 dose and anti-tumor activity, an in vivo model of high leukemia burden bearing mice (using the NALM-6 cell line) was developed. In this model standard doses of CART123 (2 million CAR+ cells) are not able to clear the tumor. These mice were injected with different doses of CART123 (1.25, 2 and 5 million CAR+ cells) and observed a dose-related anti-leukemia activity (FIG. 57D).

CART123 but not CART19 are Highly Active in a Novel Preclinical Model of Antigen-Loss Relapse

In order to test new strategies to target CD19-negative relapses a novel in vivo model of antigen-loss relapse was developed. B cell blasts obtained from a patient (CHP101) enrolled in one of our CTL019 clinical trials were collected at baseline (before CTL019 therapy), when the disease was CD19++ and CD123+, and at relapse after CTL019 when the patient developed a CD19-negative disease (CD123 still expressed, FIG. 58A). Blasts were then expanded in NSG mice and transduced with click-beetle green luciferase (CBG) for baseline disease (CD19+) or click-beetle red luciferase (CBR) for relapse (CD19−) (see Methods section). Importantly, during in vivo expansion, the blasts retained markers of B cell identity other than CD19 (data not shown). In a first experiment NSG mice were engrafted with either the baseline disease CD19+ (CBG, green) or the CD19-neg (CBR, red) leukemia. Both groups were randomized to receive CART19 or control T cells (UTD) (FIG. 52A). As shown in FIG. 52B, in both groups mice treated with UTD showed rapid progression of both the baseline and relapse disease, independently by the expression of CD19. Conversely, in the group of mice treated with CART19, only mice engrafted with the baseline disease (CD19-positive) responded to CART19 treatment while mice engrafted with the relapsed disease (CD19-negative) showed refractoriness as expected. This was also reproduced in vitro in a CD107a degranulation assay (FIG. 58B). In order to simulate in vivo the presence of different clones expressing CD19 or lacking it, NSG mice were engrafted with a 1:1 mixture of baseline and relapse disease; at day 8 mice were randomized to receive CART19 or control T cells. Tumor burden was monitored with bioluminescence imaging that could discriminate between CD19+ (CBG, green)/CD19− (CBR, red) leukemia relative growth in vivo. As shown in FIG. 52C, in mice receiving UTD both CD19+ (green) and CD19− (red) leukemia present at day 6 was similarly increased at day 11, while in mice treated with CART19 the baseline disease (green) was completely cleared while the relapsed disease (red) showed progression.

This unique xenograft model of primary CD19-negative B-ALL and CART19 failure was used to evaluate the role of CART123 in the treatment of antigen-loss relapses. Primary CD19-negative blasts (CBR positive) were injected into NSG mice (FIG. 52D) and mice were randomized to receive CART19, CART123 or control T cells. CART19 and control T cells showed complete lack of anti-tumor activity, while CART123 lead to complete eradication of the disease and long term survival in these mice (FIGS. 52E and 52F). Indeed in a pre-clinical model of primary B-ALL refractory to CART19, the novel CART123 are able to eradicate the disease and confer long-term survival.

In order to understand the differential behavior of CART19 and CART123 in this in vivo model at a single cell level, a series of experiments was performed by injecting a mixture of differentially labelled CART19 (CellTrace Violet, blue) and CART123 (CellTracker Orange or TRITC, red) to mice bearing CD19-positive primary blasts (GFP) or CD19-negative relapsed blasts (GFP) and tracked their behavior using intravital 2-photon microscopy of calvarial marrow approximately 24 hours after injection (experiment schema, FIG. 53A). These studies showed that CART19 and CART123 trafficked to marrow spaces containing leukemia and that CART cell recognition of cognate antigen correlate with motility arrest. Specifically, in mice engrafted with the baseline CD19+CD123+ leukemia, 62.9%+/−3.8 of CART19 and 81.1%+/−1.2 of CART123 were found to be stalled with a rounded morphology adjacent to blasts, whereas in mice engrafted with the relapsed CD19−CD123+ leukemia, only CART123 cells arrested next to tumor cells (CART123 80.9%+/−5.1 vs CART19 12.4%+/−2.2) (FIGS. 53B and 53C). These findings indicate that in CD19-negative relapsed ALL only CART123 were able to establish productive synapses with the leukemia cells (GFP) and thus reduced their motility, whereas CART19 cells continued sampling and moving in the environment without recognizing the leukemia blasts.

The Combination of CART123 and CART19 is Able to Prevent CD19-Negative Relapses

CART123 proved to be effective in the treatment of CD19-negative relapses occurring after CD19-directed therapies in a preclinical model of CART19 resistance. However, a combinatorial approach could treat active CD19-positive disease while simultaneously preventing antigen-loss relapses. In order to test this hypothesis the emerging clinical problem of B-ALL with a potential for CD19-negative escape was modeled by injecting primary CD19− and CD19+ disease together into NSG mice. Mice were then randomized to receive control T cells (UTD), CART19 or the combination of CART19 and CART123, with the same total dose of T cells (FIG. 54A). As shown in FIG. 54B, mice treated with control T cells had progression of both leukemia clones and CART19 showed rapid progression mostly of the CD19-neg disease (red). On the contrary mice treated with the combination of CART123 and CART19 showed clearance of the disease and improved overall survival, as shown in FIG. 54C. Analysis of mice sacrificed at the end of the experiment showed no evidence of residual leukemia in the pooled CAR T cell group. In contrast, mice with progressive disease after CART19 monotherapy retained the expected CD19 negative phenotype (FIG. 54D).

Lastly, T cells were transduced with 2 lentiviruses, one carrying CAR19 and the other CAR123 in order to develop a CART able to be activated by both CD19 and/or CD123. As shown in FIG. 55A, four differently transduced T cell subsets were detected: CAR19 and CAR123 double negative, CAR19 single positive, CAR123 single positive and double positive CAR19/CAR123 T cells. These four subsets were sorted and their functionality and specificity was tested against K562-WT, K562 CD19+ or K562 CD123+. FIG. 55B shows the results of a CD107a degranulation assay where the single positive subsets respond to their specific target while only the double positive population is able to degranulate in the presence of both CD19 and CD123 expressing K562. In addition, dually-stimulated CART cells exhibited more potent cytotoxicity against a double-positive target in comparison with an equivalent number of single-stimulated CART cells, suggesting a potential increment in efficacy by using a CAR that is triggered by two different antigens (FIG. 55C).

Discussion

CD19 directed immunotherapies are changing the paradigm of treatment of relapsing and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients with a previously dismal outcome now have a realistic potential to achieve a complete response and long-term disease remission. However, as shown under some circumstances for leukemia treated with other forms of potent targeted therapy, leukemia cells are able to develop antigen-loss mutations that lead to resistance and relapse. In the case of CART19, two main patterns of relapses have been observed. Patients with early loss of CART19 through failure of persistence are at risk for relapse of the original clone; indeed, minimal residual disease analyses indicate that between 1-6 months of sustained CART activity may be required to completely eradicate malignancy. In contrast, around 50% of relapses occur despite CART19 persistence and are characterized by the occurrence of aCD19-negative leukemia. The latter observation implicates potent selective pressure by CART19. Notably, CD19-negative relapses have also occurred after blinatumomab therapy although these represent the minority of relapse occurrences after this arguably less potent therapy. There are multiple potential mechanisms for the development of CD19-negative disease. One of these is the selection and relative survival advantage of CD19-negative clones that were present at baseline in very low frequency, and this was initially considered the most likely factor leading to CD19-negative relapses. More recently other mechanisms, such the dysregulation of the splicing of CD19 have also been considered important. Here it is shown for the first time that rare CD19−ve blasts in B-ALL can contain the hallmark cytogenetic abnormalities found in the more common CD19-positive leukemia blasts, confirming this as a potential mechanism of CD19-negative relapse. We confirmed these findings by demonstrating that CD123+CD19−ve blasts can engraft in immunodeficient mice, indicating that CD123 may be a marker of leukemic stem cells in B-ALL as it is in AML.

The goal of this study was to define novel strategies to treat patients relapsing with antigen loss after CD19-directed therapies. CD123 was highly expressed in the majority of B-ALL, and in particular CD123 remains expressed in those relapsing with CD19-negative disease. It was demonstrated the presence of clonal leukemic cells in the CD19− CD123+ population indicating that targeting CD123 in combination with CART19 can increase the likelihood of eradicating sub-clones that could proliferate due to a selective advantage upon CART19 pressure. CD123 has previously been validated as a marker of the leukemic stem cell in AML. Here it was shown that CD123 to be expressed in the immunophenotypically-defined leukemic stem cell (LSC) in ALL, raising the possibility that targeting CD123 on LSC could promote ALL eradication.

To study the role of CART123 in antigen-loss relapses a novel xenograft model of CD19-negative relapses was developed from primary blasts derived from a B-ALL patient (CHP101) enrolled in one of the CTL019 trials of the University of Pennsylvania/Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. This patient, at baseline had a classic CD19+CD123+ phenotype but then relapsed after CART19 treatment with CD19−CD123+ disease. Using this model, it was demonstrated CART123 could eradicate the relapsed disease, and in combination with CART19 could prevent antigen-loss relapse. This is the first demonstration of a dual CART combination in a clinically relevant, patient-derived model. In addition, through use of intravital imaging, it was shown that CART cells enter the marrow in less than 24 hours after intravenous injection, search for their targets, and slowdown in order to interact with cognate antigen-bearing cells. Furthermore, it was shown that a dual signaling CART123/19 was more effective than either CART alone or a pool of both CAR, consistent with previously published results.

Previously, it was shown the pre-clinical efficacy of anti-CD123 chimeric antigen receptor for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. CART123 causes hematopoietic toxicity due to recognition of CD123 on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, a potentially major challenge to clinical translation as profound stem cell toxicity could lead to permanent myeloablation. It was hypothesized that to minimize hematopoietic toxicity, a novel construct that activated T cells only upon co-engagement of CD19 and CD123 simultaneously could obviate this hematopoietic toxicity. Here it was found that CART cells receiving an activating signal from CD19 recognition and a stimulatory signal from CD123 recognition could kill B-ALL cells as well as avoid the profound hematopoietic toxicity that we have previously described. Although this concept was previously published using an artificial system of CD19/PSMA recognition, this clinically relevant construct represents a major advance in the field with a relatively clear path to clinical translation. Notably, although such a dual CAR design will likely be associated with reduced toxicity, it may leave unaddressed the issue of antigen loss relapse by making CAR recognition more, rather than less restrictive. However, if targeting of CD123 successfully eradicates ALL stem cells, this approach could be both safe and efficacious.

In summary, demonstrated here is a novel and effective strategy to the treatment of B-ALL by targeting CD123. This approach is particularly attractive since CD123 is expressed in rare CD19-negative malignant cells in some patients with B-ALL and is retained in antigen-loss relapses occurring after CD19-directed immunotherapies. Moreover, the combination of CART19 with CART123 can prevent the occurrence of CD19-negative relapses.

Example 18: Low Dose RAD001 Stimulates CART Proliferation in a Cell Culture Model

The effect of low doses of RAD001 on CAR T cell proliferation in vitro was evaluated by co-culturing CART-expressing cells with target cells in the presence of different concentrations of RAD001.

Materials and Methods

Generation of CAR-Transduced T Cells

A humanized, anti-human CD19 CAR (huCART19) lentiviral transfer vector was used to produce the genomic material packaged into VSVg pseudotyped lentiviral particles. The amino acid and nucleotide sequence of the humanized anti-human CD19 CAR (huCART19) is CAR 1, ID 104875, described in PCT publication, WO2014/153270, filed Mar. 15, 2014, and is designated SEQ ID NOs. 85 and 31 therein.

Lentiviral transfer vector DNA is mixed with the three packaging components VSVg env, gag/pol and rev in combination with lipofectamine reagent to transfect Lenti-X 293T cells. Medium is changed after 24h and 30h thereafter, the virus-containing media is collected, filtered and stored at −80° C. CARTs are generated by transduction of fresh or frozen naïve T cells obtained by negative magnetic selection of healthy donor blood or leukopak. T cells are activated by incubation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads for 24h, after which viral supernatant or concentrated virus (MOI=2 or 10, respectively) is added to the cultures. The modified T cells are allowed to expand for about 10 days. The percentage of cells transduced (expressing the CARs on the cell surface) and the level of CAR expression (relative fluorescence intensity, Geo Mean) are determined by flow cytometric analysis between days 7 and 9. The combination of slowing growth rate and T cell size approaching ˜350 fL determines the state for T cells to be cryopreserved for later analysis.

Evaluating Proliferation of CARTs

To evaluate the functionality of CARTs, the T cells are thawed and counted, and viability is assessed by Cellometer. The number of CAR-positive cells in each culture is normalized using non-transduced T cells (UTD). The impact of RAD001 on CARTs was tested in titrations with RAD001, starting at 50 nM. The target cell line used in all co-culture experiments is NALM6 (Nalm-6), a human pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line expressing CD19 and transduced to express luciferase.

For measuring the proliferation of CARTs, T cells are cultured with target cells at a ratio of 1:1. The assay is run for 4 days, when cells are stained for CD3, CD4, CD8 and CAR expression. The number of T cells is assessed by flow cytometry using counting beads as reference.

Results

The proliferative capacity of CART cells was tested in a 4 day co-culture assay. The number of CAR-positive CD3-positive T cells (dark bars) and total CD3-positive T cells (light bars) was assessed after culturing the CAR-transduced and non-transduced T cells with NALM6 (Nalm-6) (FIG. 59). huCART19 cells expanded when cultured in the presence of less than 0.016 nM of RAD001, and to a lesser extent at higher concentrations of the compound. Importantly, both at 0.0032 and 0.016 nM RAD001 the proliferation was higher than observed without the addition of RAD001. The non-transduced T cells (UTD) did not show detectable expansion.

Example 19: Low Dose RAD001 Stimulates CART Expansion In Vivo

This example evaluates the ability of huCAR19 cells to proliferate in vivo with different concentrations of RAD001.

Materials and Methods:

NALM6-luc cells: The NALM6 human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line was developed from the peripheral blood of a patient with relapsed ALL. The cells were then tagged with firefly luciferase. These suspension cells grow in RPMI supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum.

Mice: 6 week old NSG (NOD.Cg-PrkdcscidI12rgtm1Wjl/SzJ) mice were received from the Jackson Laboratory (stock number 005557).

Tumor implantation: NALM6-luc cells were grown and expanded in vitro in RPMI supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum. The cells were then transferred to a 15 ml conical tube and washed twice with cold sterile PBS. NALM6-luc cells were then counted and resuspended at a concentration of 10×10⁶ cells per milliliter of PBS. The cells were placed on ice and immediately (within one hour) implanted in the mice. NALM6-luc cells were injected intravenously via the tail vein in a 100 al volume, for a total of 1×10⁶ cells per mouse.

CAR T cell dosing: Mice were administered 5×10⁶ CAR T cells 7 days after tumor implantation. Cells were partially thawed in a 37 degree Celsius water bath and then completely thawed by the addition of 1 ml of cold sterile PBS to the tube containing the cells. The thawed cells were transferred to a 15 ml falcon tube and adjusted to a final volume of 10 mls with PBS. The cells were washed twice at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes each time and then counted on a hemocytometer. T cells were then resuspended at a concentration of 50×10⁶ CAR T cells per ml of cold PBS and kept on ice until the mice were dosed. The mice were injected intravenously via the tail vein with 100 al of the CAR T cells for a dose of 5×10⁶ CAR T cells per mouse. Eight mice per group were treated either with 100 al of PBS alone (PBS), or humanized CD19 CAR T cells.

RAD001 dosing: A concentrated micro-emulsion of 50 mg equal to 1 mg RAD001 was formulated and then resuspended in D5W (dextrose 5% in water) at the time of dosing. Mice were orally dosed daily (via oral gavage) with 200 al of the desired doses of RAD001.

PK analysis: Mice were dosed daily with RAD001 starting 7 days post tumor implantation. Dosing groups were as follows: 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg. Mice were bled on days 0 and 14 following the first and last dose of RAD001, at the following time points for PK analysis: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours.

Results:

The expansion and pharmacokinetics of RAD001 was tested in NSG mice with NALM6-luc tumors. Daily oral dosing of RAD001 alone did not have an impact on the growth of NALM6-luc tumors (FIG. 60). The pharmacokinetic analysis of RAD001 shows that it is fairly stable in the blood of tumor bearing mice (FIGS. 61A and 61B). Both the day 0 and day 14 PK analyses show that the RAD001 concentrations in the blood is above 10 nm even 24 hours after dosing at the lowest dose tested (0.3 mg/kg).

Based on these doses, huCAR19 CAR T cells were dosed with and without RAD001 to determine the proliferative ability of these cells. The highest dose used was 3 mg/kg based on the levels of RAD001 in the blood 24 hours after dosing. As the concentration of RAD001 was above 10 nM 24 hours after the final dose of RAD001, several lower doses of RAD001 were used in the in vivo study with CAR T cells. The CAR T cells were dosed IV one day prior to the start of the daily oral RAD001 dosing. Mice were monitored via FACS for T cell expansion.

The lowest doses of RAD001 show an enhanced proliferation of the CAR T cells (FIGS. 62A and 62B). This enhanced proliferation is more evident and prolonged with the CD4+ CAR T cells than the CD8+ CAR T cells. However, with the CD8+ CAR T cells, enhanced proliferation can be seen at early time points following the CAR T cell dose.

Example 20: Certain Patients with Primary DLBCL Show CD3+/PD1+ Dual Positive Cancer Cells

Although there have been compelling advances in the cancer immunotherapy space recently in the form of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T-cells and checkpoint inhibitors, advanced tools to explore the therapeutic mechanisms of their combination are not widely available. To address this growing need, a robust quantitative fluorescent immunohistochemistry platform using multiplex AQUA (Automated Quantitative Analysis) technology was developed to evaluate checkpoint inhibitor expression, enumerate CAR T cells and determine the interaction between tumor cells and immune cells via novel co-localization algorithms. The utility of this method was characterized both in preclinical- and clinical model systems. In an immunodeficient mouse model of B-cell lymphoma, homing of CAR T cells to malignant B-cells in primary lymphoid organs was evaluated. The phenotype and functional status of the CAR T cells via multiplex analyses of CD4, CD8, PD1 and FOXP3 expression was determined. Additionally, to enable combination immunotherapies in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) setting, prevalence of adaptive immune resistance mechanisms in the form of PD1 and PD-L1 expression in immune- and tumor cell compartments was examined via landmarks created by cytoplasmic and nuclear stains in both primary and secondary biopsies from DLBCL patients (n=63). To support patient selection for CAR T trials, expression and prevalence of relevant tumor antigens that could not be scored reproducibly by traditional methods were quantified to yield objective cut points. These quantitative multiplexed IHC methods for optimal selection of patients can be utilized in upcoming novel combination immunotherapy trials.

Sample preparation, imaging, and analysis of imaging for DLBCL tissue samples was performed on primary DLBCL (n=49) and secondary DLBCL (15) human patients.

Sample Preparation.

Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples were dewaxed. The slides were then rehydrated through a series of xylene to alcohol washes before incubating in distilled water. Heat-induced antigen retrieval was then performed using elevated pressure and temperature conditions, allowed to cool, and transferred to Tris-buffered saline. Staining was then performed where the following steps were carried out. First, endogenous peroxidase was blocked followed by incubation with a protein-blocking solution to reduce nonspecific antibody staining. Next, the slides were stained with a mouse anti-PD1 primary antibody. Slides were then washed before incubation with an anti-mouse HRP secondary antibody. Slides were washed and then PD-1 staining was detected using TSA+ Cy® 5 (Perkin Elmer). Primary and secondary antibody reagents were then removed via microwave. The slides were again washed before staining with a rabbit anti-CD3 primary antibody. Slides were washed and then incubated with a cocktail of anti-rabbit HRP secondary antibody plus 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Slides were washed and then CD3 staining was detected using TSA-Cy® 3 (Perkin Elmer). Slides were washed a final time before they were cover-slipped with mounting media and allowed to dry overnight at room temperature.

Sample Imaging and Analysis.

Fluorescence images were then acquired using the Vectra 2 Intelligent Slide Analysis System using the Vectra software version 2.0.8 (Perkin Elmer). First, monochrome imaging of the slide at 4× magnification using DAPI was conducted. An automated algorithm (developed using inForm) was used to identify areas of the slide containing tissue.

The areas of the slide identified as containing tissue were imaged at 4× magnification for channels associated with DAPI (blue), Cy®3 (green), and Cy® 5 (red) to create RGB images. These 4× magnification images were processed using an automated enrichment algorithm (developed using inForm) in field of view selector to identify and rank possible 20× magnification fields of view according to the highest Cy® 3 expression.

The top 40 fields of view were imaged at 20× magnification across DAPI, Cy®3, and Cy® 5 wavelengths. Raw images were reviewed for acceptability, and images that were out of focus, lacked any tumor cells, were highly necrotic, or contained high levels of fluorescence signal not associated with expected antibody localization (i.e., background staining) were rejected prior to analysis. Accepted images were processed using AQUAduct (Perkin Elmer), wherein each fluorophore was spectrally unmixed by spectral unmixer into individual channels and saved as a separate file.

The processed files were further analyzed using AQUAnalysis™ or through a fully automated process using AQUAserve™. Each DAPI image was processed by cell masker to identify all cell nuclei within that image, and then dilated by 2 pixels to represent the approximate size of an entire cell. This resulting mask represented all cells within that image. Each Cy® 5 image was processed by biomarker masker to create a binary mask of all cells that are PD-1-positive. Each Cy® 3 image was processed by biomarker masker to create a binary mask of all cells that are CD3-positive. The binary masks for all cells PD-1-positive and CD3-positive were combined to create a binary mask of all cells that are double positive for PD-1 and CD3. The % biomarker positivity (PBP) for all CD3 cells expressing PD-1 was derived, using positivity calculator, by dividing the total area, measured in pixels and determined by area evaluator, of the mask of all PD-1-positive tumor cells with the total area, measured in pixels and determined by area evaluator, of the mask of all CD3-positive cells. Representative values of PBP for all CD3-positive cells expressing PD-1 in primary and secondary DLBCL human samples are shown in FIG. 63. CD3 and PD-1 status showed that prevalence rates of CD3+/PD-1+ cells in primary is higher than secondary DLBCL setting, providing an opportunity to select patient for either single or combination treatment.

A similar experiment was performed in which PD-L1 was detected using a rabbit anti-PDL1 primary antibody and TSA+Cy5 (Perkin Elmer) on DLBCL tissue samples from primary DLBCL human patients. PD1 and CD3 were also detected on the same samples. The experiment showed that tumor microenvironments comprise cells that express PD1, CD3, and PDL1. The experiment also identified a sub-population of cells that is CD3+PD1+ (data not shown). These results support the model that a tumor microenvironment fosters immune suppressive cells that can be targeted with agents specific to PD1+ or PD-L1+ cells.

Example 21: Mutually Exclusive Expression of CD19 and PD-L1 in Samples Comprising DLBCL Cells

Sample Preparation.

Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples were dewaxed. The slides were then rehydrated through a series of xylene to alcohol washes before incubating in distilled water. Heat-induced antigen retrieval was then performed using elevated pressure and temperature conditions, allowed to cool, and transferred to Tris-buffered saline. Staining was then performed where the following steps were carried out. First, endogenous peroxidase was blocked followed by incubation with a protein-blocking solution to reduce nonspecific antibody staining. Next, the slides were stained with a rabbit anti-PDL1 primary antibody. Slides were then washed before incubation with an anti-rabbit HRP secondary antibody. Slides were washed and then PDL1 staining was detected using TSA+ Cy® 3 (Perkin Elmer). Primary and secondary antibody reagents were then removed via microwave. The slides were again washed before staining with a mouse anti-CD19 primary antibody. Slides were washed and then incubated with a cocktail of anti-mouse HRP secondary antibody plus 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Slides were washed and then CD19 staining was detected using TSA-Cy® 5 (Perkin Elmer). Slides were washed a final time before they were cover-slipped with mounting media and allowed to dry overnight at room temperature.

The processed files were further analyzed using AQUAnalysis™ or through a fully automated process using AQUAserve™ as described in the previous Example.

Representative values of PBP for all CD19-positive and PD-L1-positive cells in primary and secondary DLBCL human samples are shown in FIG. 64. CD19 and PDL1 expression varied in DLBCL samples. CD19 and PDL1 expression tended to be mutually exclusive, i.e., in general, a given cell expressed CD19 or PD-L1 but not both. While not wishing to be bound by theory, this may be because CD19 is expressed in DLBCL tumor cells while PD-L1 is expressed in non-tumor cells, e.g., cells that support the tumor microenvironment. This observation suggests that a combination therapy of a CD19 inhibitor (e.g., a CD19 CAR-expressing cell) and an inhibitor of PD-L1 signalling may be useful for targeting these two populations of cells.

A similar experiment was performed to, e.g., demonstrate the capability of AQUA analysis to monitor CART19 efficacy. This study monitored CD19, CD3, and the CART19 nucleic acid in samples comprising mixed cells lines with CART19+ Jurkat cells and CD19+ REH cells. CD19 and CD3 proteins were detected by antibodies, and CART19 was detected using an RNA probe against the 3′ UTR of the CAR nucleic acid. The experiment showed that the cell line samples comprise cells that express CD19, CD3, and the CART19 (data not shown). The experiment also showed that the cell line samples comprise a sub-population of cells that is CD3+/CART19+ (data not shown). Proximity analysis was performed, which showed that CART19 cells were physically proximal to CD19+ cells (data not shown). These experiments support the model that CD3+ CART19 cells infiltrate a tumor microenvironment comprising CD19+ cells and physical locations of CD19 and CART19 cells translate into efficacy of the CART19 therapy.

Example 22: Bicistronic Expression of CARs

In this Example, the efficacy of two types of cell populations were compared. In the first cell population, referred to as “pooled”, each cell expresses one CAR. A first plurality of cells was transduced with CD19 CAR, a second plurality of cells was transduced with CD22 CAR or CD123 CAR, and then the two pluralities of cells were pooled. In the second type of cell population, a plurality of cells was transduced with a bicistronic vector expressing CD19 CAR and a second CAR, so that most or all of the cells expressed both constructs. The second CAR was CD22 CAR in some experiments and CD123 CAR in others. These cell populations are illustrated in FIG. 65.

Two novel constructs, diagrammed in FIG. 66, were generated using the P2A system in order to express two full-length CARs in the same T cell using a single bicistronic lentiviral vector. T cells were expanded according to a standard protocol and transduced using a single lentiviruse carrying both CAR19 and CAR123 (multiplicity of infection, MOI=3). A similar transduction was performed for CAR19 and CAR22 in the same T cell population obtained using the described bicistronic lentiviral vector. FIG. 67 shows co-expression of CD19 and CD22 CARs. Distinct populations based on the specific expression of CAR19 and/or CAR123 can be recognized, including a Dual CAR19+/CAR123+ population and a double negative population (FIG. 68A).

The cells transduced with bicistronic CD19 CAR and CD123 CAR was compared with pooled cells expressing either CD19 or CD123 CAR (FIG. 68B). NSG mice were engrafted with a B-ALL cell line (NALM-6, CBG+). At day 7 mice were randomized based on tumor burden (BLI, bioluminescence) to receive control T cells (UTD), CART19, CART123, the 1:1 pooled combination of CART123 and CART19 or the Dual CART19/123 (same total number of CAR+ cells). CD19 CAR-expressing cells alone (squares) and CD123 CAR-expressing cells alone (triangles) both showed initial effectiveness compared to the control (circles) followed by rising levels of leukemic cells. Pooled cells expressing CD19 or CD123 (diamond) also showed initial effectiveness followed by rising levels of leukemic cells. In contrast, cells transfected with the bicistronic vector (inverted triangles, “dual CART”) maintained a prolonged response at least 60 days after treatment. This experiment indicates that dual CARTs exert a potent anti-leukemia effect that is not only superior to a single CART treatment but is superior to a pooled CART cells.

Example 23: CART22 is Effective Against CD19-Neg B-ALL in an Animal Model

CD19-negative B-ALL cells were tested for responsiveness to CD19 CAR-expressing cells and CD22 CAR-expressing cells in an animal model. One million CD19-negative B-ALL cells were infused into mice on day 0, and 2e6 CAR+ T cells were infused on day 7 (after randomization). Tumor burden was measured by bioluminescence. As shown in FIG. 69, while the cancer progressed in the negative control mice and CART19-treated mice, CART22 is able to clear CD19-negative ALL in NSG xenografts.

The assay was conducted as follows: 1e6 CD19-neg ALL cells (CBG+) were injected in NSG mice. At day 5 mice were randomized to receive either 2e6 control untransduced T cells (UTD), CART19 or CART22 (m971 scFv). Mice were then followed uo for tumor burden (bioluminescence).

Example 24: Low Levels of Immune Checkpoint Molecules are Associated with Improved Outcomes

Immune checkpoint molecules (PD-L1, PD1, LAG3, and TIM3) were detected in samples from lymphoma patients by immunohistochemistry. Positive and negative control tissues and cell lines were also performed. The immune checkpoint expression analysis was performed using quantitative image analysis on a region of interest which can include tumor cells and non-tumor cells such as immune cells. Samples were taken from tissue, lymph node, or bone marrow.

Immune checkpoint protein expression was compared in complete responders (CR) and patients having progressive disease (PD) following treatment with CD19-targeting CAR therapy. As shown in FIG. 70, the CR patients tended to have low levels of PD-L1, PD1, LAG3, and TIM3 before and after treatment, while PD patients tended to have high levels of these molecules before and after treatment. This Example supports combination therapy with a CAR-expressing cell and an immune checkpoint inhibitor, and supports testing to determine immune checkpoint molecule levels in patients receiving a CAR therapy.

Example 25: Functional Assays of CD22 CAR-Expressing Cells

Several CD22 CAR constructs were functionally validated in an NFAT assay. Briefly the experiments were performed as follows. A lentiviral vector (pELPS) carrying a nucleic acid, encoding a CD22 CAR with a CD22-binding scFv domain was introduced by electroporation into a Jurkat T cell line modified to express luciferase under the control of an NFAT response element (JNL). The cells were cultured and allowed to express the CAR construct. The electroporated cells were applied to a plate coated with the target antigen (CD22). Detection of luciferase signal in the coated plate was indicative of binding activity of the CD22 CAR to its antigen, leading to activation of the T cells and expression of luciferase.

FIG. 71 is a graph showing the activation (in RLU) of several CD22 CAR constructs in the presence and absence of a m971 scFv competitor. These results indicate that CD22-53 and CD22-12, and a subset of the other scFvs, bind the antigen approximately as well as the m971 positive control. The results also indicate that the different scFvs compete with m971 to different extents.

Sixteen additional human CD22 binding domains were tested and found to have weak binding activity (data not shown), so were not pursued further.

FIG. 72 is a graph showing the activation (in RLU) of several CD22 CAR-expressing JNL cells including CD22-57, CD22-58, CD22-59, CD22-60, CD22-61, CD22-62, and CD22-63, the scFv sequences of which are provided herein. Three different target proteins (CD22-FL-Fc, CD22-D567-Fc, and CD22-D67) were used to coat the tissue culture plates; a negative control (Fc) was also included. A mesothelin binding CAR (Meso-G07) was used as a negative control. CD22-12 and CD22-53 were used as positive controls. The experiment indicated that all CARs (CD22-57, CD22-58, CD22-59, CD22-60, CD22-61, CD22-62, and CD22-63) were functional in this assay. Furthermore, these results indicated that the CARs tested (including CD22-12 and -53) bind to the domains 6 and 7 of CD22. Domain mapping was performed on CD22 binding domains. Three different forms of antigens were used: CD22 full-length with all 7 external domains, Domain567 (in which domains 1-4 were deleted) and Domain67 (in which domains 1-5 were deleted). While not wishing to be bound by theory, it appears that the binding of various CD22 clones maps to the epitopes illustrated in FIG. 75.

CD22 CAR constructs were also tested for the ability to promote secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-2. Briefly, transduced primary T cells from healthy donors expressing the different CD22 CARs were co-cultured with the CD22-positive target cells Raji-Luc and Daudi-Luc as well as the negative control K562-Luc. T cells and target cell were cultured in an effector-to-target cell ratio (E:T) of 10 to 1. Supernatants were harvested after 20-hr co-culture. FIG. 73 shows three bar graphs indicating IFN-gamma production in pg/mL. Co-culture with Raji-Luc (top panel) and Daudi-luc (center panel) cell lines induced IFN-gamma secretion by hCD22-12, hCD22-53 CAR T cells as well as the two positive controls CAR19 and m971-HL. Notably, highest amounts were observed when the hCD22-53 cells were tested, and to a lesser extent, when the hCD22-12 cells were tested. Similar results were observed when Nalm6-Luc, Pfeiffer-Luc, and K562-CD22-Luc, and SEM-Luc cells were tested (data not shown). Minimal IFN-gamma secretion was observed when the K562-Luc negative control cell line was tested (bottom panel).

CD22-12 showed activity comparable to m971 in cell killing and cytokine secretion assays (Example 9). Two scFvs, named CD22-64 and CD22-65, were produced by affinity maturation of hCD22-12. CAR constructs containing these scFvs were tested for activity in an NFAT assay as described above. As shown in FIG. 74, both CD22-64 and CD22-65 bind CD22 as well or better than CD22-12 and CD22-53, leading to JNL activation. The bars in the figure represent, from left to right, CD22 full length-Fc; CD22 D567-Fc; and an Fc only negative control used for coating of the plates. Testing four variants of CD22-12 suggested that LCDR3 and HCDR3 contributed to binding to some extent (data not shown), and that HCDR3 may tolerate more mutations than LCDR3.
